Filnames with spaces in them MUST be quoted (filename="my car.jpg").  We used to
support reading past the space in unquoted strings, but that breaks valid
non-English filenames, so we have gone back to the spec behavior so that we
don't break valid non-Enlish sites.

Please contact the maintainer of the server sending that bogus header and ask
them to fix their code.
