From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.0rc1) Gecko/20020417
BuildID:    2002041711

When clicking on a link, or shift clicking on a say .img or .iso file, I want it
to be handles as a binary transfer not a txt transfer. 

There is no option for this in the save dialog, and the file name file.img is
extended with .txt ie file.img.txt.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.goto ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/bootdisk/
2. shift click on a .img file
3. try to get it to be a binary transfer

Actual Results:  nothing

Expected Results:  a binary transfer option.

works for me, win98, build 2002041903

dup of bug 120327 ?
  text/plain documents shouldn't add .txt to suggested file name

The filename part is bug 120327.  The transfer mode issue, however, is an FTP
thing (if present; I cannot reproduce it).

Comment 3

[Arne Falk]

There might not be an ftp transfer issue, I assumed there was a problem since
the .txt was added, and felt that I have no way to tell what kind of transfer it
gets.
I guess this can be marked as a duplicate of bug 120327
