208584 - cant download some files that are "dynamicly generated" by the server

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Jonathan Wilson]

I cant download some files that are "dynamicly generated" by the server using
mozilla 1.4RC1 Mozilla says "c:\xxx cannot be saved because the source document
could not be read". Using "save link as" results in nothing happening.
This has been observed saving mail attatchments (a zip file) from yahoo mail (in
http mode not https mode) and also saving the transaction history log from my
bank (which is a CSV file). The problem seems to be with CGI scripts that feed
data to be saved.

I dont know what happened but now the bank and yahoo mail are both working
again, as of Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4)
Gecko/20030529 (which as far as I know is the 1.4RC1 binary from mozilla.org)

So, the question is, how does that affect this bug (and 160454)?
Is there still a problem with some sites (and the yahoo and bank problems were
fixed at the server end) or what?
