I just upgraded to 10.4.3 and Safari 2.0.2.

I use Yahoo mail most of the time. Since the upgrade when I select the file and try to attach the file to an email in Yahoo I get this error message:

Safari can’t open the page “http://attach.re2.mail.yahoo.com/us....ts?YY=50587”. The error was: “POSIX error: Invalid argument” (NSPOSIXErrorDomain:22) Please choose Report Bug to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.

This is a real bummer since I use Yahoo mail most of the time and need to be able to send files. Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

Thanks,
Doug

Problem Solved !

Before I upgraded to Tiger, I was using Safari 1.3, I had the Safari Cashe Folder set to READ ONLY since I have Broadband High Speed, 6MB, because I didn't want that folder ballooning out of control and eating up disk space. Apparently that causes a conflict with Safari 2.0.2. Returning the Safari Cache folder to Read & Write solves the problem. You can't use Safari Enhancer to deactivate cache either as the problem returns.

This seems like a bug to me. You should be able to deactivate cache if you want too without having major conflicts expecially since it worked fine under OS 10.3.9 and Safari 1.3.
