However, the dialog which shows up to select whether you want to open or save the file, displays the filename just as "Report". The download of the file will work, but all characters after the first space are omitted. This is especially a problem on windows where the program to open a file is determined on the file-extension which is then missing. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Download a file with spaces in the filename 2.select save 3.view the incomplete filename (in the save dialog as well as in the filesystem) Actual Results: file was alright, opening (after renaming) did work, filename incomplete Expected Results: save the file with the complete filename
Example URL ?
Alright, my mistake. Should have tested this more carefully. It does work fine with direct links to the files. However, I use indirect downloading of the file, meaning I use a script to download the file from another location. I can provide an example download here: http://www.liwjatan.at/download.php5?project=src&filename=slack%20new.bmp I tested this in Konqueror-3.5.9, firefox-3.0.1, Internet Explorer 8beta and Opera 9.51, with firefox being the only one who truncates the filename.
web-sniffer.net says that URL returns 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=slack new.bmp'

damn, jesse was faster. I expected the broken content-disposition header, that's the reason why I asked for a URL :-)
