[Tyler Hunt]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212

When sending headers for a file download, the filename is displayed incorrectly
in the save file dialog box. For instance, the headers below are sent from a
file name index.php:

    Content-Type: application/octet-stream
    Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=text.doc

The resulting filename in the save dialog would be "text.doc.php". If the
Content-Type header is not sent, then the filename becomes "text.doc.html".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send header: Content-Type: application/octet-stream
2. Send header: Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=myfile.txt
3. Click OK to save the file to disk
Actual Results:  
Filename in save dialog box is displayed as "myfile.txt.php", or
"myfile.txt.html" if the Content-Type is not sent.

Expected Results:  
The filename should have been displayed as "myfile.txt".

This has only been tested using PHP 4.1.2.
