CKAN Upload fails if filename has spaces in it

Reported by: markbrough Owned by: rgrp
Priority: critical Milestone: ckan-sprint-2011-12-19
Component: ckan Keywords:
Cc: Repository: ckanext-storage
Theme: none

Description (last modified by rgrp) (diff)

E.g. uploading a file with spaces in it: OECD Monthly Exchange Rates.zip

Gives a 404 Not Found response to the following file: ​http://test.ckan.org/api/storage/metadata/2011-12-05T193046/OECD%20Monthly%20Exchange%20Rates.zip

The upload wheel keeps spinning and the user is not informed that the upload has failed.

Analysis: turns out that google storage (possibly s3 but not checked) replaces with ' ' in keys with '+' on upload. This breaks things because we try and look up metadata about upload using the filename/key we put in but of course that does not exist because google has changed name.

Fix is trivial: replace ' ' in keys / filenames with '-'.

Debug via js console revealed the problem: Google storage replaces spaces with +.

Further investigation shows that:

  • Spaces and any other characters work fine with local file storagfe
  • Google escapes other non-url allowed characters (so should work fine)
