208291 - Suggested filename in Content-Disposition is not always heeded to by Mozilla

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 65827

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Oleksandr Pavlyk]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030604
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030604

Whenever Mozilla does not know of some MIME type, yet has 
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=test.ext 
it prompts to save(open) file, suggesting flename 'test.ext.html'

If the type is known it works OK, like for
Content-Type: application/pdf
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=test.pdf

Adding Content-Length in the response header does not resolve the problem 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make Apache spit out 
  Content-Type: application/octet-stream
  Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=text.tex
and some content
2. Direct Mozilla to the page just created


Actual Results:  
Mozilla prompts you to save the file, suggesting filename text.tex.html


Expected Results:  
Suggest text.tex to save
