106867 - Mozilla doesn't tack .htm extension onto saved files

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 31519

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Matt Sheffield]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011011
BuildID:    20011101

If an extension is provided by the server other than .htm or .html, Mozilla by
default uses this extension, which results in the same problematic behavior.
(Ex: if saves remote filename "bob.php" but just types in "bob", it will become
"bob" and will not be treated as text/html by the user's OS.)

Default behavior on extension-based OSes should be to automatically tack .htm to
all locally saved files if user provides no extension. Potentially confusing to
novice users.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Save any file ending in non-.htm or .html you want

Expected Results:  Should tack on .htm or .html instead of leaving no extension

this feature should be only for content-type "text/html".
In unix, extensions are not essential.

reproduced in Mozilla 0.9.5/Linux.

True, extensions don't matter on Unix, but they do on Windows, which presumably
we are trying to target here. All text/html documents should be saved as .htm
automatically.
