Description Will Thompson 2008-12-08 12:38:28 UTC 
I tried to stream a block device to Marco. You can't find the file size of a block device, so Empathy attempted to request a FT channel with size=0, which Salut rejected.

** (empathy:2236): DEBUG: empathy_dispatcher_send_file: Sending vg--queeg-scratchbox from a stream to Marco Barisione (size 0, content-type inode/blockdevice)
(empathy:2236): tp-glib-DEBUG: tp_proxy_borrow_interface_by_id: 0xf52f00: org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Connection.Interface.Requests DBusGProxy is 0x14b0950 ** (empathy:2236): DEBUG: file_channel_create_cb: Couldn't request channel: Size property is mandatory

There was no error dialog though.

In this case it probably shouldn't allow me to try to send a file whose size it can't find? The error message wouldn't exactly be useful.

I split the "block devices appear to have file size 0" into #563678.
