Overview

If the ContentLocation parameter contains the "\" character (path separator in S60 platform), the S60 WMA implementation crashes.

Description

The WMA 2.0 specification defines the ContentLocation parameter for a MessagePart (see JSR-205, page 28). If this parameter contains S60 platform's path separator character ("\"), the WMA implementation crashes.

How to reproduce

Create a MessagePart with the ContentLocation parameter containing the "\" character and try to send an MMS having such a MessagePart.

Solution

The ContentLocation should always be a simple file name (without a path).

This problem is corrected in S60 3rd Edition FP1.
