Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 136831

(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, defect)

Description

[Ray Smith]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

In the page http://www.fileplanet.com, anytime I try to download a file from any
of their servers, when asked where I want to download the file on my computer
(where the file name is located that I am getting ready to download), I receive
the filename but with the first two characters ALWAYS missing.  This has
happened other sites but I can ALWAYS replicate the bug @ fileplanet.com.

here is an example: Say I am going to download the new Unreal Tournament 2004
demo and the filename is ut2004_demo.exe, this is what is displayed: 
2004_demo.exe (note the first 2 characters are not there...)

It is moreso an annoyance than a bug I guess

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://fileplanet.com
2. choose ANY file to download (public or paid server does not matter)
3. download the file and check the download dialog where the filename is located.

Actual Results:  
you are given a filename to download without the first 2 characters of the
filename where the filename is displayed

Expected Results:  
not deleted the first two character in the string of the filename.

Actually, this is a bug in fileplanet.  It screws up parsing a uri and sends us
the wrong data -- take a look at the HTTP headers...
