[Marco Jakobs]

Hi,

i've created a link to a file yesterday, now i've received an email that my link produces just an error:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [...] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Here is the part of the logfile "seahub_django_request":

OK, i've got a detailed bug information for this: It's the filename!

The file name of the shared file is "ServiceData.log". Creating a public link (https://...) in Seafile does not work, producing the 500 server error when entering the link in the browser. It won't work in ANY library.

Renaming the file to "ServiceData.abc" works immediately after creating a link. So there seems to be an issue once a file has the extension ".log"!

[Lingtao Pan]

Seafile will try to show file content if the file extension is ".log". There is an error in detecting the charset of the file. We will fix it soon.

Thanks for reporting this issue.

Thank you, Lingtao!
