207538 - Attaches additionally the extension of some serverside downloadscripts

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 65827

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[andreas schipplock]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

I think there is some problem in the http-implementation, because I tried to
find out why Firebird does not interpret the following correctly. I send a
header within a serverside script with the following content:
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="fname.ext"
So, if Firebird starts to show the client-user the download-window, Firebird has
decided to choose this filename "fname.ext.php", but I have specified the
filename and in the protocol specification it´s also mentioned as above.
(http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec19.html#sec19.5.1). For me it
seems that Firebird catches the extension of the script and attaches it
automatically, but this seems not correct.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Ok, let´s reproduce it in some short steps:
1.) set up any apache server with php 4.x ( I think you have already done )
2.) catch any file and test the following script:

<?php
	header("Content-type: application/gz");

	header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"test.gz\"");

    $data = implode("", file("fonts/blasphem.ttf"));
    $gzdata = gzencode($data, 9);
    $fp = fopen("fonts/blasphem.ttf.gz", "w");
    fwrite($fp, $gzdata);
    fclose($fp);
    
	readfile('fonts/blasphem.ttf.gz');
?>

3. Start the script within Firebird and see. You will see that you can download
the file with the extra extension.
Actual Results:  
I have a downloaded file with two extensions :)

Expected Results:  
Just leave the filename as I have specified.
