Subject: Windows: Problem with "colon" char in the NTFS file name

Hi I'm new, downloaded the zip file from github download page through the
"Download as ZIP" button, it's a 3.8 MB zip file.
"ginatrapani-ThinkUp-v1.0-22-g57eb893.zip"

Inside the zip file there's this folder
"webapp/plugins/googleplus/tests/testdata":
https://github.com/ginatrapani/ThinkUp/tree/master/webapp/plugins/goo...

It contains 8 files with "https:" in the names. There's a "colon" char in
the file names.
In Windows NTFS, colon char is not allowed to be used in the file name, as
it's drive unit delimiter. Cmiiw.
So I got error when trying to extract the zip file.

An example file name:
"https:__accounts.google.com_o_oauth2_tokenclient_id=id-client_secret=s3cr3 t-grant_type=authorization_code-code=test-google-provided-code-redirect_uri =http%3A%2F%2Fdev.thinkup.com%2Faccount%2F%3Fp%3Dgoogle%252B<https://github.com/ginatrapani/ThinkUp/blob/master/webapp/plugins/goo...>
"

How can I resolve the problem to extract these files in Windows NTFS?
Thanks in advance.

Do you want to install the application, or are you actually planning
to hack on the code?
If you just need to install, don't use that button; it's for grabbing
the latest source, includes a bunch of stuff you don't care about and
might not even work at any given moment.
Use the link just below for "thinkup_1.0.zip — version 1.0" which is
the currently-packaged release.

Gina, Mark, etc:
Do those filenames have to be in that format? IZArc doesn't complain
about extracting them, but instead silently munges the paths so they
end up at eg:
[zipdir]\webapp\plugins\googleplus\tests\testdata\https_\__accounts.google. com_o_oauth2_tokenclient_id
[etc]
Note the https:// getting turned into an extra directory and
underscores. Which is still going to break stuff, I'd assume.

@Su:
I just want to install the app, so thank you very much for solving my
problem :)
I'll download the thinkup_1.0.zip file then.
Regards.

They do if you're running the test suite, and if you are, I think we
can safely assume you're pulling from git versus unzipping. If not, we
could refactor the tests to use better/different filenames for test
data.
