100737 - Mozilla renames OriginalName.tgz to RandomName.tar, no file modification occcurs

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[nemo]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.4+) Gecko/20010917
BuildID:    2001091721

LaBrea.tgz (link on given page)
was saved by Mozilla as
ydxwj35h.tar
iohkx9tr.tar
etc.

This is annoying because not only did it rename it, but it changed the extension
*without* decompressing the archive.
In any case, decompressing the archive would be bad behaviour on systems without
much disk space.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on the above link, which attempts to download a file of type x-tar.

Actual Results:  Screwed with file names.

Expected Results:  Save it without modifying, or filter it through a tar xvfz if
I had requested that.

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

The site sends:

Content-Type: application/x-tar
Content-Encoding: x-gzip

This is a duplicate of "Save as: should add extension to match content coding"

This is not a dupe of 90490.
I'm not using "save as"
It isn't a problem with using correct default extension in "save as"
The problem goes beyond changing the extension.  It also changes the filename.

Specifically, it looks like it uses the cached file name.  Since the file came
over from the server as type "x-tar" it may be that the cached version used the
tar extension.  In any case, when saving it should use the original file name.

Reopen the bug if you still have the problem with the latest nightlies or the
soon-to-be-released 0.9.5. Also try a fresh profile.
