180179 - Mozilla incorrectly renames the files according to MIME type.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 144334

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Lev Povalahev]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021113
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021113

Mozilla (1.2 latest & 1.3 latest) does not handle downloads correctly.
If the MIME type is not specified and the file is send via script mozilla takes
the extension of the script and adds it to the file name. Example: many of the
files on www.cracks.am  (http://www.cracks.am/d.x?24582)

If the mime type is specified mozilla adds the extension of the mime type to the
filename (i.e. if you download a file a.tar.gz with mime type application/x-tar
it becomes a.tar.gz.tar). Mozilla also does not look for the file extension but
only at the extension of mime type. This is wrong. example:
http://www.python.org/doc/current/download.html (html downloads (zip, gzip, bz2))
I have winzip assosiated with .zip and .gz files, but powerarchiver with .bz2
files. But mozilla simply takes the extension of the mime type
(application/x-tar), which is .tar and want to open all files with
winzip(assosiated with .tar) instead of using correct application for .bz2 files.

This bug persists for a loooong time now.

I'm using WinXP + SP1
