265785 - Filename truncated when original has "_" or space in filename

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 221028

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[Yugo Nakai]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1

This might not be a real bug, but when I try to HTTP download a file from the
web that has a space or underscore in the filename, the Save As dialog only puts
the first word into the default filename when I save on my C: drive.  I do not
know if this might be due to non-RFC compliant web servers, but I have noticed it.  

Primary website of occurrence is on an intranet, so I cannot give URL.

Yahoo Briefcase used to have this problem, but now they seem to insert "+"
characters.  That also seems like an unsatisfactory solution, but again I am not
sure if this is unique to Mozilla/Firefox, or whether the same problem would
occur in IE.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upload a file to a web service that allows you to POST files.  The file's
name should include spaces and/or underscores.
2. Download the file using Save Link As.

Actual Results:  
The filename shown in the Save As dialog will only include the first "word" of
the filename, and if you press Enter, that will be the saved filename.


Expected Results:  
Save the filename as recorded on the web service, including words after the
first space/underscore.
