527634 - Problem with automatic javascript picture downloads

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/532.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/4.0.237.0 Safari/532.4
Build Identifier: Firefox 3.5.5

There is a large problem with automatic picture downloads on websites that use javascript helpers to allow you to download the files. If the files have spaces in their name (such as Picture 001.jpeg or Picture Picture 001.jpeg), the downloader in Firefox 3.5.5 only lists the stuff before the first space and doesn't realize that the file in question is a .jpeg file and downloads it as a file with a blank extension on it and just those first letters/numbers before the first space.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a site that has a javascript download helper.
2. Click on the download link for the picture if it has spaces in it.
3. Box pops up with the cut-off name of the file in question and no way to 'correct' the name.


Expected Results:  
The software should have downloaded the file with the full filename.

Can you give an example of such a site ?
