116506 - Web pages have the wrong default filename when saved

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 115176

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Matthew T (active 1999-2002)]

Build: 2001122008, Mac OS 9.1

To reproduce:
1.  Go to <http://news.bbc.co.uk/>.
2.  Choose `File' > `Save As...'.
3.  Look at the default filename.

What you should see:
*   `BBC News | Front Page'

What you actually see:
*   `news.bbc.co.uk.html'

When fixing this, ensure that the default filename for non-HTML files is still
based on their URI, and is not set to `Image 280*170 pixels' or whatever.

This really seems more a dupe of bug 67901 than bug 115176 -- the former is the
one that wants the save filename to be based on the page title, while the latter
wants the save file to be based on the URL.  There's much debate in these bugs
over whether one or the other is a bug or a feature.
