This is a Windows-only issue AFAIK. It's the same reason why people decide to put their projects in something like C:\dev

Apparently it's quite easy to reach the 260 chars limit

No, it's also a Linux issue.

    Too many characters on Linux? Quite difficult to reach to be fair. Do you have an example?

      I have been trying to repro with a small nodejs server but either the server cut off the content-disposition filename or firefox truncates it. When I get that in the wild I'll post an update.

      In the meantime:

          $ touch 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

      https://serverfault.com/questions/9546/filename-length-limit... 255 bytes it is then.

      Firefox cut off at ~217, httpie at 255.
