File Transfers Do Not Work
I have tested file transfers via Skype > Pidgin, Pidgin > Skype, and Pidgin > Pidgin. In all cases the file transfers fail. File transfers Skype > Skype succeed. Neither user is connected through a proxy or any network tomfoolery.
Skype > Pidgin: Pidgin reports: The user sent files in an unsupported way Skype reports: It just sits there waiting for the user to accept the file transfer.
Pidgin > Pidgin: To the sender it appears as if the file transferred and was completed. The progress bar even reflects that the file is transferring at the expected speed (tested with different file sizes). With a small test text file the receiving user receives this error: "Error reading from nus1-api.asm.skype.com: response too long (4 bytes limit)" The small text files do not actually transfer, (despite the chat log claiming completion - "Transfer of file test 2.txt complete" - their file names appear in their receipt folder, but as 0k empty files.
With larger files, like an mp3, the receiving user receives no prompt to accept the file, but the file appears to transfer from the perspective of the sender. In this case the receiver does not even get a 0 k empty filename.
The transfers appears to use bandwidth, but go nowhere.
Pidgin > Skype Same as Pidgin > Pidgin. In Pidgin it appears as if the file is transferring, the receiver gets no notification or file.
Today I accidentally received big file sent from Skype client. The only issue is that file was cut. Original size was 36.207.484 but I got first 36.204.544 bytes (size rounded down to 4096 bytes)
Also I cannot remove received file because it is still open by Pidgin process
I have the same issue as eschava, the plugin downloads the content of the files, but the file size is cropped down from 385896 to 385024, which is again the size rounded down to 4096 bytes.
Still present on lastest debug dll..its a little annoying always have to open skype client to send/recieve files/images...
Error al leer de nus1-api.asm.skype.com: la respuesta es demasiado larga (el límite es 69 bytes)
By the way... aside from this bug...its working awesome. Thanks!
Any chance to fix this issue?...right now i have to admin its working great, not even a single disconnect and always reconnect without problems (when I suspend my notebook and resume it)
Same here. Seems files are truncated by a buffer chunk size. This might be in skypeweb_got_file function.
Tried to transfer files from Pidgin to Skype. On Pidgin, it shows as if it had succeeded. On Skype, nothing shows up.
Sadly this seems to happen also on the latest Git version, when I try to send files 1 second passes and then it returns "Transfer cancelled", while the partner doesn't get any request. There are no signs of errors (or even transfer-related debug lines) in the debug window.
If the conversation partner sends me a file, no dialog will pop up until their transfer is finished, then the transfer window will pop out and transfer the file successfully (even though I had no progress bar and only a "waiting" status on the tranfer). The file is whole and not cut to a multiple of 4096 anymore.
I'd say this is not just a 1.1 issue.
An upgrade is in order if you're using a version older than 1.4 anyway.
