RE: [Tikiwiki-devel] potentially serious dup file upload error

[luis <lu...@fu...>]

Dennis,

You uploaded the SWF file, played it and when getting back the browser
must have asked you if you want to "post" again info since you were
coming from a post submission.
If you say "yes" the browser will repost the data and the file will be
duplicated.
The same can be done by uploading the file and then clicking "refresh"
the browser will ask if you want to repost and if you say yes the file
will be
reposted.
If a user clicks the file nothing happens.
I'm afraid this can't be prevented since there's no way to know if you
are really wanting to upload the file again or a new file or if you are
just reposting accidentally.

Luis.

Subject: [Tikiwiki-devel] potentially serious dup file upload error

bug entry
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=717698&group_id
=64258&atid=506846

I uploaded an swf file. I played the swf and went back in the browser 
and noticed that there were now TWO swf files. played the swf again and 
there was a third. Repeated same behaviors with html.

you can see it here
http://alt.thetinfoilhat.com/tiki-index.php?page=TikiViewlets

at first I thought it was I was opening the file in a
new browser 1.5 but the new file is being created
regardless of session

repeatable! unknown whether or not it is creating dups.
in the database meaning large files swallowing storage
space...

potentially critical bug
