724576 - firefox gives error when downloading an attachment with content-length specified in the HTTP header

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[gregorio]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:10.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0
Build ID: 20120129021758

Steps to reproduce:

Working with a site built in .NET, I've found that a page started to give me errors. The page is simply a generic .NET handler, that creates a PDF file and attaches it to the response. Technically, the file stream is written in the response, and the following headers are set: content-length, with the length of the file; content-disposition, with "attachment;filename=myfilename.pdf"; content-type: application/x-msdownload.



Actual results:

Firefox is giving me the following error: Damaged content.
It starts to work again if I delete the content-length information from the headers.


Expected results:

The PDF file should have been downloaded.

Please provide the full headers of the link.
- You can http://web-sniffer.net if the URL is accessible from the internet.
