User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8

Using firefox in the "Save All files to this folder" option, the following
problem occurs:
When trying to download a file (for example: "An Example.zip") it's truncated to
"An" (without an extension) because some spaces exist in the filename. For
windows users this is quite common.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Search for a filename with spaces on the net.
2. Download it.
3. See the result

Actual Results:  
Ended up with a truncated file 

Expected Results:  
Usage of the correct filename (with space characters)
-or-
Replace each space character with an underscore character.
Also seing this with trunk build 20040525 Win 2000.
This is most likely a server misconfiguration issue, where the server does not
quote its Content-Disposition header.

What is the URL of the file you are trying to download?
I guess it is a dupe of Bug 221028.
Yep, that's what I was thinking of too. I just wanted to make sure that it was
actually that same issue. Since the reporter hasn't replied, I'm just going to
dupe it, and the reporter can reopen if he disagrees.
