Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[Ben Weier]

User-Agent:       Opera/7.60 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

all files are served through a mysql blob. these files are then accessed via 
various pages on the site but the main source is the top10 page. when trying to 
download ANY file that contains [ or ] (most files which cause the problem will 
contain both) the error page is returned that says the file does not exist. 
these files are most certainly there, and can be downloaded through IE6 and 
Opera 7.6

headers are set properly ("Content-Type: application/zip" etc) and all other 
files that do not contain [ ] can be downloaded through Firefox just fine. 
physical files (ie. not mysql blob) can be downloaded, however using this method 
on the domain is not an option.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click file to download where filename contains [ or ]

Actual Results:  
page is returned that says file does not exist when it does

Expected Results:  
download prompt should appear
