194256 - Content-disposition adds .cgi on the end for attachments

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 65827

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Jeff Shipman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210

When using the Content-disposition: attachment; filename=<string> header, the
browser adds an extra .cgi to the end of it. So if filename is foo.exe, it gets
foo.exe.cgi. This is undesirable. I have a cgi script that must use this header
to properly form the filename of what the person is downloading through my
script. Other browsers handle this just fine and earlier versions of Mozilla
(can't remember how early...around 1.0) handled this just fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the listed URL
2. Click on one of the Download buttons
3. Save to disk

Actual Results:  
The .cgi is appended to the end of the filename

Expected Results:  
Not put a .cgi at the end.

I don't believe you. The same thing happens to my girlfriend and she's running
the same version as me. I would like to see a screenshot. Are you not following
my directions properly?

1) Go to
http://216.40.242.102/scgi-bin/verifykey.cgi?prodkey=discover_demo&type=download
2) Choose either the windows or linux version
3) Choose 'Save to disk'
4) The filename you get will have a .cgi at the end.

If it's _still_ working for you, then it must be a pref issue.
