@blp @andstatus @thefaico @maiyannah we're running mod_php not fastcgi, but it's irrelevant. other clients can upload images to quitter.se

@hannes2peer @andstatus @blp @thefaico I couldn't comment, I just wanted to make sure this was brought to your attention since it is related to your instance

@hannes2peer @blp @maiyannah@community.highlandarrow.com @lnxw48 I just tried sending a message with an attachment to this conversation from my quitter.se account:
1. First attempt failed with the reason: REQUEST_ENTITY_TOO_LARGE - this is a known problem of message length counting on this server: it counts a length of attachment URL with a length of a message itself...
2. I had to remove most of the conversation participants from that already short message - and upload succeeded, see the notice: https://quitter.se/notice/7191588 But here we got another problem: attachment URL, generated by the server, is broken: no file is on that URL...
@hannes2peer could you check , why is this? -

@andstatus 1. yes, clients need to guess how long the attachment url will become (same with twitter)
2. never seen that before... -
@andstatus more on 1. in qvitter i have solved this by uploading the image before sending the notice, that way you know the url length

@hannes2peer I tested now: Twitter's behavior is different and is User friendly:
It allows to attach an image to a tweet, which has 140 characters of text and it shows it completely on a web site, see https://mobile.twitter.com/AndStatus1/status/778446073333374976
...but for a mobile client it truncates the tweet ending it with ... in order to insert a Web link to the attached image. Not so bad.
So in order to be Twitter's User friendly, Quitter.se needs to change this also?!
@blp @maiyannah@community.highlandarrow.com @mcscx @lnxw48 @roland@f.haeder.net -
@andstatus ok, seems to be a new "feature" on twitter. anyway, i like the old way better, that attachment links are a part of the 140 notice
-
... Instead of random exceptions, they should just upgrade post size to something more reasonable. 280-300 was a good size. I don't think I've had a reason to fill up 1,000+ ever.
