127536 - Does not respect mime types over file extension

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 116938

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Sam Johnston]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020204
BuildID:    2002020406

Mozilla correctly identifies the output of pdfclock.pl as application/pdf (Adobe
Acrobat Document), and suggests that I 'Open using AcroExch'. However upon
downloading the document it is passed to the perl interpreter which
(understandably) barfs. At first glance, this appears to have serious security
implications. Having said that I don't believe I'm the first to spot it, and it
may be the combination of software I have installed so I'm setting severity
normal for the time being.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Request http://www.pdflib.com/pdflib/demo/pdfclock.pl

Actual Results:  pdfclock.pl downloaded, saved, and passed to perl interpreter.

Expected Results:  pdfclock.pl saved as pdfclock.pdf and opened in Acrobat
(Reader), or better yet, opened in browser window ala IE.

I have Adobe Acrobat 4.0 and ActivePerl installed. I have also recently
installed the GetRight plugin (although that does not appear to be interfering
in this case).

wfm using build 2002022308 on Win2k + PDF plug-in installed: the clock is
displayed within Mozilla.

Do you have the Acrobat reader plug-in installed (nppdf32.dll) ?

This _would_ work with the plugin. It fails with the helper app. Marking dup of
the bug that will fix this problem.
