Steps to reproduce:
1. Download the BlazeDS release candidate from its official page (
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/blazeds/).
2. Open the downloaded blazeds_b1_020108.zip archive in Windows Explorer (using Zipped Folders feature).
3. Try to find "blazeds-turnkey-readme.htm" file in the root of archive.
Actual Results:
Windows Explorer shows no "blazeds-turnkey-readme.htm" file in the root of blazeds_b1_020108.zip archive and doesn't extract it.
Expected Results:
There should be "blazeds-turnkey-readme.htm" file in the root of archive.
Workaround (if any):
Try to open archive in WinRar or through Total Commander — you'll see the file "\blazeds-turnkey-readme.htm" in WinRar and "blazeds-turnkey-readme.htm" through the Total Commander .
Detailed description:
I've downloaded the BlazeDS Release Candidate and then noticed a strange file name inside the blazeds_b1_020108.zip archive.
The file name is "\blazeds-turnkey-readme.htm". Backward slash used as the first character of the file name.
Windows Explorer (Windows XP, Zipped Folders feature) doesn't display this file at all and so doesn't extract it from archive.
Other archivers do display it, but they do it in different ways:
1. Total Commander with its ZIP plug-in showed me the folder named as '' (yes, no characters at all) inside the archive and the normally named file: "blazeds-turnkey-readme.htm" (no slash).
2. WinRar archiver showed no such "empty named" folder, but instead file name "blazeds-turnkey-readme.htm" had the backward slash character just before the "blazeds", so the whole name looked as "\blazeds-turnkey-readme.htm".
As result, I've successfully extracted the whole contents of the archive (including "blazeds-turnkey-readme.htm") with Total Commander. But notice: Windows Explorer, used by most of people, doesn't extract this file.
