500 on new blob if file name is 256 characters or longer

Created by: cirosantilli

Go to /new/master

Get the filename to your clipboard:

printf "$(python -c "print ('a' * 256)")" | xsel -b

Probably happens because filenames cannot be longer than 255 on filesystems.

GitHub limits it to 1000.

Note however that both gitlab and github can show filenames longer than 1000:

  • https://github.com/cirosantilli/test-long-file-name-1024

although with a few bugs:

  • gitlab raw
