[go-nuts] Re: Zip file created by archive/zip can't be opened on Windows machine
Hi! Windows cannot extract password protected ZIP files without third party software. Sorry, but it a beef you need to take with Microsoft. ref: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/981168e8-512d-4515-aada-8c94adf9187e/error-0x800041005-trying-to-unzip-a-password-protected-file?forum=win10itprogeneral /Klaus On Sunday, 12 November 2017 07:24:01 UTC+1, Jimmy 99 wrote: > > Dear Joe > Thanks for your gracious offer! > Please see the attached. > I have added the go code, a shortened data file , the pdf and zipped pdf > output file > Please let me know if you need anything else > Regards > Jimmy > > > On Sunday, November 12, 2017 at 2:27:54 AM UTC+2, Joe Tsai wrote: >> >> If you can provide a minimal reproduction in Go code, then I can take a >> look at it.

If you can provide a minimal reproduction in Go code, then I can take a look at it. I fixed a number of zip issues for the upcoming Go1.10 release.

its not totally clear the exact issue you're dealing with - a minimal example would go a long way. If I had to guess, I would say your zip entries are using characters not supported by windows file systems. windows has more reserved characters than you might expect, and even reserved filenames you have to avoid like nul, ptr, etc. See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365247(v=vs.85).aspx#naming_conventions On Friday, November 10, 2017 at 4:40:40 PM UTC-5, Jimmy 99 wrote: > > Is anyone familiar with the archive/zip package? > I am experiencing the following problem: > When I create the Zip file on Ubuntu the file can be extracted no problem. > When I try and extract the zip file on a windows machine I get an error > saying the file cannot be created. > > I have tried compiling the go app on the windows machine, and same problem > - Windows file explorer cannot extract the zipped file. > > Interestingly enough, 7zip on the windows machine can extract the zip > file, but obviously I cannot ask the user community to install 7zip just to > extract a zip file:( > > Any help or pointers will be appreciated > > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
