255848 - Sending HTTP Headers, Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 221028

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[David McVeigh]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3

As a php developer I explicitly send HTTP Headers to accomplish file downloads.

<?php header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$fileName); ?>

If the filename property has spaces in the name ie "Filename with spaces.txt"
when control is passed to Firefox 0.9.3 to save or open the file, the filename
is truncated to the first occurance of a space ie "Filename".

Files can be open and saved, however the full filename is truncated and the file
extension is lost.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

3.




As far as I can remember, this bug did not exist in earlier versions of Firefox.

dupe of bug 221028. You have to put quotes around the filename, like this :

<?php header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\".$fileName\""); ?>

sorry, that has to be :

<?php header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$fileName\""); ?>
