Interrupting appending deletes destination!!!

[dandv 0]

1. Create a target file, say target.ext

2. Find a big enough file to allow you some time while it gets copied.

3. Copy the big file over target.ext and at the Confirm prompt choose Append.

4. While the big file is appended to the target file, stop the operation.

5. Notice that the target file has been deleted!!!

 

This is potentially disastruous. What NDN should do whe the

user interrupts the appending process is stop appending and truncate

target.ext to its original size.

 

BTW, this is also a bug in DNOSP, but ssshhh, don't tell them :-)

 

Hope this helps,
