[Randell Jesup [:jesup] (needinfo me)]

looks to be related or the same bug as bug 116510, though that bug claims it's
fixed in mozilla and is now only an embedding issue.  Either regression, or
perhaps something that didn't get checked into trunk (from 0.9.9 branch?) or was
never really fixed.

Note: you need a gamespy id (free) to access downloads from fileplanet.com. 
This probably happens with almost any download.

[Frederic Bezies]

A gamespy id is not always needed. There are also server public without
registration needed.

Just enter this link and see ! :-)

Just use server public :-)

The server sends:

Content-Disposition: file; filename=DQ2.ZIP

This is a fileplanet bug all the way.  We just follow the spec.

Comment 9

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

The issue is (see bug 99789 comment 12):

We url-encode the '^' in the url.  IE does not.  Their server determines the
filename by taking the url and stripping off N chars off the front, where N is
somehow calculated; the calculation is off by 2 when the '^' is URL-encoded.

Here's a reply from GameSpy support service about the problem, which I called
their fault:

Better find out just what they mean by "Netscape".
I would imagine this same bug affects the last Netscape release (Netscape 7 or
7.1 or whatever it is also)

Comment 21

[mmortal03]

This bug is affecting other sites as well:
for example, movies from IGN.com.  Here is another example:
<a
href="http://xfersf01.fileplanet.com/%5E190075156/movies/streamingmovies.ign.com/docroot/cube/article/518/518860/geist_052504_2_wmvlow.wmv?position=front">right
click and select "Save Link As" here</a>. 

 The actual URL of this link is as follows:

http://xfersf01.fileplanet.com/%5E190075156/movies/streamingmovies.ign.com/docroot/cube/article/518/518860/geist_052504_2_wmvlow.wmv?position=front


The displayed file name in the dialog box should be "geist_052504_2_wmvlow.wmv",
 but instead is "ist_052504_2_wmvlow.wmv".

I am currently using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.7)

Noted that fileplanet is part of the IGN/Gamespy network.  I did not even notice
the obvious in the URL.

Is this now working ?

Comment 25

[Frederic Bezies]

Sorry for answering 3 years later. I forgot about this bug.

Of course it works. It can be closed now !
