User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20031208 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20031208 When I receive webmail attachments with uppercase JPG extensions, here is the message I receive from Mozilla 1.6a: 'The file "Moose.JPG" is of type application/octet-stream (JPEG Image), and Mozilla does not know how to handle this file type......" Here is what the link looks like: <a target="_blank" href="/wam/MsgAttachment?msgid=3456&attachno=2&folder=INBOX&x=-123456789">Moose.JPG</a> It seems as if this is not proper behavior considering 1) Mozilla determines the incoming data is JPEG 2) All other jpg images (with lower case extensions) are displayed properly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log on to a webmail service that does not store file path information in href links of attachments 2. Attempt to open a JPEG image attachment with an uppercase extension ".JPG" Actual Results: The "Opening <filename>" dialog appears asking how to open this file. Expected Results: It should display the jpeg image as it does all other jpeg images. My operating system is Trusted Solaris 8 7/03 ( a very troublesome environment ).
invalid. mozilla does not usually guess the type of data. most likely the server sent Content-Type: application/octet-stream, which mozilla trusts. if an http log (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/netlib/http/http-debugging.html) shows that the server is actually not sending application/octet-stream as the content-type, please reopen this bug.
