148930 - downloaded files have extra / bad extension

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 120327

(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, defect)

Description

[jrdepriest]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0rc3)
Gecko/20020523
BuildID:    2005052306

When downloading any file that doesn't have a registered application, Mozilla
tries to guess at what it is.  It usually pickes text file or executable file.
This would not be bad except that it forces an extra extension of .txt or .exe
or whatever onto the end of the file.  This means I have to rename the file
after I download it before I can use it.
For instance, the URL that I included is for a shell script with a .sh
extension.  Mozilla turns this into fixperms.sh.txt, regardless of what
extension(s) I use in the download dialog box.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the URL provided.
2. Choose File -> Save Page As..
3. It should default to Text file and stick an extra .txt on the end.
4. Delete the extra .txt and save the file.
5. The .txt is still there anyway.

Actual Results:  An extra and unwanted file extension was added to the file name.

Expected Results:  Mozilla should let me choose what extension I want on the end
of my file.
