New issue 4608 by bebef.1...@gmail.com: element.send_keys('.') tries to
upload a file instead of sending the key to the input box using the grid
http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=4608

Sending only the '.' over the grid returns a python error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "sel4.py", line 17, in <module>
element.send_keys('.')

File "/home/florinstrugariu/.virtualenvs/marketplace/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/webelement.py",
line 144, in send_keys
value = self._upload(local_file)

File "/home/florinstrugariu/.virtualenvs/marketplace/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/webelement.py",
line 237, in _upload
raise e
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: u'invalid stored
block lengths' ; Stacktrace: Method read threw an error in
InflaterInputStream.java






What steps will reproduce the problem?
Run the code

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

capabilities = getattr(webdriver.DesiredCapabilities, 'FIREFOX')
capabilities['version'] = '14'
capabilities['platform'] = 'MAC'

executor = 'http://webqa.local:4444/wd/hub'

driver = webdriver.Remote(command_executor=executor,
desired_capabilities=capabilities, browser_profile=None)


driver.get("http://www.google.com")

element = driver.find_element_by_name("q")

element.send_keys('.')

element.get_attribute('value')


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The input box should contain the sent value

Selenium version:2.25.0
Grid: 2.25.0
OS:Windows
Browser:Firefox
Browser version: 14

Can you try replicating with a local FirefoxDriver, and with a standalone
server? I doubt this issue is specific to Selenium grid.

Tested this with the standalone server and I got the same result.
