Mysterious failure when trying to upload file beginning with "#"

[zachmullen]

Steps:

1. Go to folder, click "Upload here"
2. Select a file with the name, e.g. "#file.txt"
3. Click Start Upload.

We get a 400 and a message appears that says "undefined".

This actually happens if "#" is present in any part of the file name.

I'll look into it.

A rough guess is that the filename isn't being encoded in the call to /system/uploadtoken and the # is being treated as the start of an anchor in the complete URL. Will be fixed once I can track down that piece of code.

That is exactly the issue. As an aside, really that call should have been a POST as it is creating an upload token.
