from bug 115176.

save image context menu item, still pulls up the script, and not the filename
that is suggested in the context menu itself.



------- Additional Comment #144 From Boris Zbarsky 2002-02-09 08:06 -------

That would be because the context menu uses a different algorithm for parsing
the url to get the filename...  





------- Additional Comment #145 From Dan Tobias 2002-02-09 08:13 -------

The site cited in comment 143 is a bit of a "degenerate case" for parsing
filenames out of URLs... they have some odd naming systems there.  For instance,
the URL cited ends in ".jpg" but is actually an HTML page -- fortunately, their
server has the sense to serve it with the correct MIME type, but it still
wouldn't surprise me all that much if MSIE had a cow about it given its infamous
MIME second-guessing.

The image in question does indeed have a script name as its filename, with the
image name being a parameter to it.  One can forgive a browser if it tries to
save the resulting file by the script name instead of the parameter.  However,
the behavior of showing one name in the context menu and another when you
actually save it is rather bizarre and ought to be made consistent (even if, on
some sites, that might result in it being consistently wrong).

When doing a "Save Page" or "Save Image" (not from the context menu)
when displaying URL
http://www.shacknews.com/images/image-o-matic.x?halo/031201_halo_3.jpg
it shows "image-o-matic.x" as the proposed filename. So its not just the
differemt algorithm of the context menu then?



------- Additional Comment #147 From Boris Zbarsky 2002-02-09 08:24 -------

Yes. It is.

The context menu shows "031201_halo_3.jpg".  Everything else shows
"image-o-matic.x" (all the save methods do).  That would be "just the
differemt [sic] algorithm of the context menu".
updating summary to long description.  Thanks Boris.  You are the File handling
guru.  The other issue I see with this is, let me know if you want me to file a
report for this:

on this type of save with .jpeg, save dialog is not adding the extention to
saved filename if you dont supply it on w2k using same URL.

Well.. the context menu no longer has a filename, so resolving this worksforme.
 If bug 136110 gets fixed and the algorithm is still different, please reopen.
