143899 - When saving a file mozilla changes the file extention

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 120327

(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, defect)

Description

[Rick Hicks]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0rc2) Gecko/20020510
BuildID:    2002051009

When saving a file with the extention .iso mozilla automatically add .exe to the
file instead of saving the file with it's actual extention.
It will allow you to remove the exe ext. before you start saving. however this
step should not be necessary.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.open an ftp site that has cd-rom images posted
2.select a cd-rom image file with .iso extention
3.click on the file to save

Actual Results:  The save file dialog opens with the file name and true extenion
displayed with a.exe extention added to the end of the file and the default file
type set to exe

Expected Results:  mozilla should have set .iso as the file type to show in the
directory view and saved the file with the name unaltered.

This behavior is not present in mozilla 0.9.9 Save file works correctly when
saving an rpm. I have not checked other extentions for this behavior yet. Note.
this seems to affect binary files only.

I can sort of confirm that with 2002051204 on Win2k:
ftp://linux.nssl.noaa.gov/pub/linux/redhat/redhat-7.1-en/iso/i386/seawolf-i386-SRPMS.iso
is saved as seawolf-i386-SRPMS.iso.txt here.
So not ".exe", but ".txt"...

Reporter: the URL you entered is not quite correct *now* (leading "http" and
missing "i386".
