150324 - download manager appends .exe to non .exe

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 120327

(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, defect)

Description

[yoda]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530
BuildID:    2002053012

When downloading a file which doesn't have a .exe extension, the .exe extension
is applied. For example with a .zip file when downloading, mozilla will add .exe
to the .zip(i.e filename.zip.exe). 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Download a .zip file, also it happens with any file that doesn't end with .exe
2.
3.

Actual Results:  added .exe to the end of the file, so it looked like
filename.zip.exe

Expected Results:  left off the .exe

I tried downloading .zip files from other sites, and the .exe isn't added to the
end.http://www.btinternet.com/~martin.webb/download/zip.htm.
I think the problem might be the way the file is being called. From the   sun
site the file is being called from a perl script. From the above site I would
just click on the link. Also from the sun site I don't get the dialog box which
ask me if I would like to open the file with winzip.

This is from the sun site with Mozilla 1.0

Attachment: Screenshot of IE 6 downloading .zip file

This is from the sun site downloading the same file, but ie doesn't append the
.exe to the end

Dup of the extension-appending being too zealous bug.
