Package: curl
Version: 8.11.1-1~bpo12+1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
Attempting to specify "application/x-pkcs12" as the content type for a file
upload form field causes a seemingly irrelevant error:
$ echo > localfile
$ curl -F 'field=@localfile;type=application/x-pkcs12' https://www.google.com/
curl: (26) Failed to open/read local data from file/application
while using eg: "application/json" works fine:
$ echo > localfile
$ curl -F 'field=@localfile;type=application/x-pkcs12' https://www.google.com/
<... an error message from Google's endpoint, as expected ...>
It *seems* to be the numbers in the content-type it is objecting to; if I try
types without numbers, like "type=application/x-pkcs" it seems to work but
"type=1"
fails.
I am guessing that some regular expression in the argument parser is failing to
extract the full type of the form field and is terminating on a non-alphabetic
character?
