Currently, change_sug_filename in LYUtils.c contains the following
snippet:
/*
* Trim off VMS device and/or directory specs, if present.
*/
if ((cp = strchr(fname, '[')) != NULL &&
(cp1 = strrchr(cp, ']')) != NULL && strlen(cp1) > 1) {
cp1++;
for (cp = fname; *cp1 != '\0'; cp1++) {
*(cp++) = *cp1;
}
*cp = '\0';
}
Note that in spite of the reference to VMS, this is protected by #ifdef
VMS or anything similar. The effect is that if you download a file that
contains the characters [ and ] (in that order), everything from the
beginning up to and including the last ] is deleted from the filename
that Lynx suggests when you use "d" to download it. (Well, as long as
there's a least one character after the ].)
This is unfortunate, as in certain contexts it's common practise to
include CRC32 checksums in filenames, usually in this style:
"Filename_[DEADBEEF].avi".
I'm unsure what problem the original code is intended to solve, and
whether it's relevant on non-VMS platforms. For me, simply commenting
out the block solves the entire problem.
