About this Zero-byte .CFG file

What you get

empty.cfg is 0 bytes. 1kb.cfg is 1,024 bytes of filler text. Both use the Configuration File name.

How to use it in QA

Attach either file where your product asks for a .CFG file. Use the empty file for a zero-length check, and the 1 KB file for a small non-empty upload. The download names stay empty.cfg and 1kb.cfg.

Zero-byte .CFG questions

Will an app open them?

Most apps will report an empty or invalid Configuration File. That is the point of the fixture.

Is the download safe?

Yes. Neither file has an executable payload.
