XWEB: File Attachments in OWA Append 2 Extra Bytes CR/LF |
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Outlook Web Access, version 5.5
SYMPTOMS
When you use Outlook Web Access to send a message with a file attachment,
the attached file always has two extra characters appended, that is, CR/LF.
CAUSE
The Exupload code missed two hyphens while parsing the HTTP header
information. The delimiter used in computation is "\r\n", as opposed to
"\r\n--", ignoring the double hyphen and resulting in two extra bytes.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server
version 5.5. For more information, please see the following article in the

Access, version 5.5. This problem was first corrected in Exchange Server
5.5 Service Pack 2.
