About this Zero-byte .OSM file

What you get

empty.osm is 0 bytes. 1kb.osm is 1,024 bytes of filler text. Both use the OpenStreetMap Map name.

How to use it in QA

Attach either file where your product asks for a .OSM 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.osm and 1kb.osm.

Zero-byte .OSM questions

What is inside the files?

Will an app open them?

Is the download safe?

Yes. Neither file has an executable payload.
