Subject: Linking items in chat.... (Blue please read)
   Ok for you people that collect links out there...

My raid UI allows linking of items aquired on a raid.. To be safe one of the things I do is a

local name, link, quality, minlevel, class, subclass, maxstack, iloc, itexture = GetItemInfo(itemId);

If name then
.. Show link in channel
end

Now.. Everything links fine 99.9% of the time.. There is one item I can't link, but according to the cache I have the item available.

It's item # 19002 "Head of Nefarian"

100% of the time it will disconnect me, even when the item passes the Cache check. I asked several guys in the guild if they happened to have links to Nef's head, and went on a cpl of servers that have killed Nef and asked for links to Nefs head, and what I found is NO ONE is able to link the item, even though it passed the above test.

Is this a bug? or are there items that you should never be able to link, but still should pass the GetItemInfo() check?

Anyone have an answer to this, or is there someone out there that can actually link the Head of Nefarian?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[edit]
Just incase you were all wondering we killed him Tues night after the servers came up, so it's not like the link is that old. It has been DC'ing me since Wed morning.

Regards,

   GetItemInfo() returning non-nil only means the item is safe to show a tooltip for. The only guarantee that an item is safe to link is if the item is in your inventory or referenced by a spell in your spellbook or your quest log.

Edit: What Iriel said. :)
