294233 - torrentreactor.net - Problems with spaces in filenames (content-disposition not quoted)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[David Watzke]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.4; Linux 2.6.11-gentoo-r8; X11; i686; cs, en_US) KHTML/3.4.0 (like Gecko)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050514 Firefox/1.0+

When I click on the [download] link on    
http://www.torrentreactor.net/view.php?id=5096319, it'll get me to 
http://www.torrentreactor.net/download.php?id=5096319, which should redirect  
me to a file "LucasArts Adventure Games.torrent". In firefox, the filename 
consists of only the first word ("LucasArts" in this case) before the space. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://www.torrentreactor.net/view.php?id=5096319  
2. click on [download] 
Actual Results:  
The filename was made of the first word only ("LucasArts") 

Expected Results:  
Give me a complete filename ("LucasArts Adventure Games.torrent") 

Bug's present on Windows, Linux-x86 and Linux-x86_64 builds

Per bug 221028, content-disposition must be quoted. This is not a Firefox bug,
but rather a website bug. Moving over to Tech Evangelism.

Yo, if this ain't a Firefox bug, why other browsers (IE, Konqueror, Opera ......
) have no problems with that ?!

Comment 3

[Ali Ebrahim]

Because other browsers ignore the relevant standard and accept this broken
behaviour on the part of the website. Firefox does not.

If you want to know more about this decision, read bug 221028. But don't argue
about it there (or here), the decision has already been made.

The best thing you can do is to write to the administrators of
torrentreactor.net and ask them to fix their broken configuration.

Original file is 404, but I went to

http://www.torrentreactor.net/torrents/1889085/Alanis-Morissette-Flavors-Of-Entanglement-Bonus-Tracks-2008-PROPER

and found a download link, which gave me this:
