[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package whoopsie - 0.2.75

---------------
whoopsie (0.2.75) hirsute; urgency=medium

  * src/whoopsie.c: modify server_response() so that it does not incorrectly
    assume that data is null-terminated and actually use the size of the data.

  use the size of the data when determing the server response

Bug description:
  whoopsie's server_response code is using "g_string_append" instead of
  "g_string_append_len" which has the knock on effect of sending too
  much data to its "handle_response". This ends up being a problem if
  the daisy servers are running on Ubuntu 18.04 instead of Ubuntu 16.04.

  Here's an example when using whoopsie on groovy to send a crash to a
  bionic daisy server:

  [15:35:30] Sent; server replied with: No error
  [15:35:30] Response code: 200
  [15:35:30] Initial response data is: 2bbb776e-64e6-11eb-a8d6-00163eddedf4 OOPSID
  0

  [15:35:30] Got command: OOPSID

  We can see a fair number of extra characters (\n0\n\n) after the OOSID
  command.
