1476758 - CSV (and some other files) are not downloaded properly when the title has spaces.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1440677

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[flames5123]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/67.0.3396.99 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Download a CSV file, from an ASPX page where the response is the file so it will download, and the filename has spaces in it, like "Student Report.csv".




Actual results:

The CSV is saving as "Student" and it's just a raw file. It still recognizes it as a CSV and changing the filename and type after download will still open properly.

This happens every time. However, it does not seem to have a problem with PDFs that have spaces in the name.


Expected results:

It should save as "File Name.csv" regardless of if the FileName has spaces or not.

Here is a link to a page with 3 different downloads

http://testcory.activeschool.net/test/csvdownload.aspx


In the "Content-Disposition" response header, we have: String.Format("attachment;filename={0}", FileName)
This can simply be fixed by using String.Format("attachment;filename=""{0}""", FileName), as the PDF download does.

However, this is still a problem, as Chrome can download it without the quotes surrounding it.
