Illegal characters in path exception when saving MHTML as HTML with custom ResourceLoadingAction

Hello,

Saving the attached MHTML file to HTML with Aspose.Words for .NET 21.9, using a custom ResourceLoadingAction action to skip external resources, causes a “System.ArgumentException: Illegal characters in path” exception:

public static void Convert()
{
    var loadOpts = new Aspose.Words.Loading.LoadOptions
    {
        LoadFormat = Aspose.Words.LoadFormat.Mhtml,
        ResourceLoadingCallback = new WordDocImageHandler()
    };

    var word = new Aspose.Words.Document("input.mhtml", loadOpts);
    word.Save("output.html");
}

private class WordDocImageHandler : Aspose.Words.Loading.IResourceLoadingCallback
{
    public Aspose.Words.Loading.ResourceLoadingAction ResourceLoading(Aspose.Words.Loading.ResourceLoadingArgs args)
    {
        return Aspose.Words.Loading.ResourceLoadingAction.Skip;
    }
}

input.zip (12.2 KB)

If the ResourceLoadingAction is Default, it saves correctly. But having it set to Skip causes the “Illegal characters in path” exception.

This looks like a bug because it should just be skipping the resources. Can you please advise.

Thanks

Hi, this error is still happening in the latest version (Aspose Words .NET 23.7). The original MHTML file above now works, but the attached MTHML file throws the error: input.zip (4.3 KB)
