189460 - When web server "streams" file to browser for download, the filename in the file save as box is "filename.ext.asp". (appends .asp)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 65827

(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, defect)

Description

[Richard Curtis]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

I have the following perl code in Apache::ASP served from an apache web server.
 When clicking a download link, the code shown is executed and streams a file to
the browser.  The filename is set using the "Content-Disposition',"attachment;
filename=test.zip;" line.  This should provide the filename test.zip for
download.  Instead, the windows version provides test.zip.asp (all files get
appended with .asp).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click a url which sets the filename via the Content-Disposition header
2.Look at the value in "save" dialog.  It will say "Downloading test.zip.asp"


Actual Results:  
filename test.zip.asp shown instead of test.zip

Expected Results:  
shown test.zip :)

if you require a demo site, I can open a pinhole in my home firewall to allow
you to access a page demonstrating this... contact via email if this is needed.

my $data = <FH>;

$Response->Clear;
$Response->AddHeader('Content-Length',length $data);
$Response->AddHeader('Content-Disposition',"attachment; filename=test.zip;");
$Response->BinaryWrite($data);
$Response->End;

check bug reports with "disposition" in the Summary. You should find a dupe I think.

I have looked at the 11 posts matching the word disposition, but cant find any
relating to the appending of the .asp extension.  I could easily have
misunderstood the other posts, but to me it looks like this bug is independant
of the others.
The strange thing is, this works fine on all browsers (Opera, Konquerer, IE)
including Mozilla 1.1 on Linux and 1.2.1 on Linux.  It is just 1.2.1 on Windoze
that shows this behaviour.

Richard,
please take a look at bug 120327 and dependencies.

For instance, see bug 188111 which is duped to bug 65827.
