<<BINARY DATA>>

The file name should have been "The Financial Detective.doc" but FireFox
download manager reported as "The.doc" when I choose to open, and just "The" if
I choose to download the link from the right click menu.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
I can reproduce it using the WebCT logon I have, but this will not work for you.
 But I beleive that the HTTP headers in the details should allow you to
reproduce it.

Comment 1

[Yonas Jongkind]

I beleive that the key issue is how the header

Content-Disposition: filename=The Financial Detective.doc


is handled.  

Also, this does work perfectly in IE.
