Subject: CDash php "symlink()" usage does not work when running on Windows XP<br>

<b>Fatal error</b>: Call to undefined function symlink() in <b>C:\dev\My Tests\CDash-trunk\xml_handlers\upload_handler.php</b> on line <b>305</b><br /><br>

<br>
Given that symlink will never be supported via php on Windows XP...<br>
<br>
What should we do about this test failure? (I think it's a real problem in the code on Windows XP.)<br>
<br>
Is there a way to make the upload_handler work without using symlinks?<br>
<br>
Isn't the symlink a "nicety" and not absolutely required for downloading a file that's been uploaded...?<br>
<br>
<br>
