153797 - Download is adding ".exe" to the end of file (which ends in ".msi")

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 120327

(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, defect)

Description

[Ken Beal]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1a+) Gecko/20020622
BuildID:    2002062208

The URL is to the latest build of ActiveState Perl.  When I clicked it, the save
file dialog appeared, but instead of:

ActivePerl-5.6.1.633-MSWin32-x86.msi

it showed:

ActivePerl-5.6.1.633-MSWin32-x86.msi.exe

I'm calling this critical because it's modifying data (not exactly losing, but
the resulting program may not execute properly so I'd consider it a loss).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on the URL above.


Actual Results:  Added ".exe".

Expected Results:  Should add nothing.

This problem is already discussed in bug 120327. It has to do with the
content-type of the file.
