177187 - "Save Link Target As..." downloads HTTP headers to file

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

Description

[Peter Elsesser]

When choosing "Save Link Target As..." from the context menu over a link,
Mozilla saves the HTTP headers returned from the server at the top of the
downloaded file, effectively corrupting it.  In my Mozilla preferences, I opted
to have a download status window open up instead of the download manager.

I'm using Mozilla 1.1 with the version string: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows
NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826.

Which link does this happen with?  I have been unable to reproduce this in
several minutes of testing on a variety of sites (Linux build 2002-10-18-08).
