commons-Upload: FileItem.getName()
Hello,
FileItem.getName(); function return: file name only when mozilla browser
used and it returns complete path with name when IE is used?
I know this is browser specific functionality, but Don't you think
FileItem.getName() should return only file name regardless of the browser.
I don't understand why this method functions this way? If we are using
standard APIs then method functionality should be standard too.
Please have your say on this post.
Regards,
Jawed Nazar Ali

Or a convenience method that returns either the filename or path.
Similar to how the java.io.File class works. In the case of Mozilla,
both methods would just return the same value.

Anyone wrote a wrapper for this?
I think most developers support IE and the only useful part during an upload
scenario is filename. So everyone must have written some method to extract
filename from the whole path.
Do we need a simple substring or additional stuff needs to be handled?
IE runs on windows so we can be sure of that separator is "\" and not "/"
etc, right?

I agree. Just because the browsers can't be consistent, doesn't mean
this library can't be....

I agree. Just because the browsers can't be consistent, doesn't mean
this library can't be....
