Unattached media URLs broken for anything over 1000

[henry.wright]

Steps to reproduce

1. On your local computer, rename a file to 1180.jpg
2. Upload the file to the Media Library
3. Visit example.com/1180

You will get a 404 broken link.

If you do the same for a 1, 2 or 3 digit filename, you won't see the issue.

example.com/31.jpg // Works
example.com/872.jpg // Works

The problem isn't just related to images.

example.com/1871.mp3 // 404

I can't seem to edit the examples I gave in the ticket description but they should read:

31.jpg
example.com/31 // Works

872.jpg
example.com/872 // Works

and

1871.mp3
example.com/1871 // 404

I just tested again on a fresh install with no existing posts. Same issue. This indicates that this isn't a permalink conflict.

Right. If I had to guess, a 4-digit number is treated as a year instead of an attachment slug. I thought #5305 fixed that, but apparently not for all cases.

I still see the problem if I use a 5-digit number (11598.jpg). I guess that rules out the year theory, unless 5-digit numbers are also treated as years?

Hi @henry.wright ,

I tested this issue, but I didn't get the issue with 5 digit.
And yes @SergeyBiryukov , it is treated as a year. That's why it is gettong 404.
