User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040316
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040316

See below.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up mozilla to view .doc files with MS Word without asking (I mean that
dialog that asks "opem with default app"/"open with : xxx"/"Save")
2. Click on a link to a .doc file
3.

Actual Results:  
The file is downloaded and the displaye in MS Word, but the "Download Manager"
window is still showing as if the download were in progress.

Expected Results:  
"Download Manager" window shows the download as finished.

The URL of the file looks like this (I changed some parts):
http://our-server/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/*checkout*/some/path/Software%20-%20Status.doc?rev=1.4

The script is actually ViewCVS 0.9.2

Attachment: Screenshot of Download Manager

The screenshot is taken hours after the file was downloaded and viewed in MS
Word. I also closed Word, in case DLM is waiting on that...

This looks similar to bug 237927, and is probably a dupe. Reporter, what is the
behaviour if you don't have Mozilla set up to always use the default application
(e.g. if you ask Mozilla to just save the file to disk)?

Also changing "DL" -> "download" in the summary so it shows up better in searches.

I do not have the problem with the link
(http://jajc.ksn.ru/download.php?id=0&action=download) from bug 237927, it is
marked as "Finished" ( only the length is "1KB of 1KB" which a known bug 149237).

It seems that my problem only appears if the URL has query parameters ( &x=y
stuff at the end).
I tried by pasting the URL directly in the URL bar. If it has no query
parameters ( it ends in .../foo.doc ) then it works OK. If I add "&rev=1.2" then
the download is shown as in progrees after it finishes.

If set mozilla to ask me every time what to do with Word files and I select
"Save to disk" then it works OK.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
