Download Content link mangling filename

csiege — Fri, 19 May 2006 18:14:49 GMT

When selecting the "Download Content" link from a file detail page, the filename is mangled resulting in the filetype not being recognized and the filename just being trashed.Can't seem to find how to specify a different behavior.the filename ends up getting changed to soemthing like:=_ISO-8859-1_Q_

This might seem a strange question, but what browser are you using to download the content? For attached content, the download servlet encodes the filename using the ISO-8859-1 standard (to allow encoding of UTF-8 characters etc.) and this works fine on all the browsers and systems we've tested. This is a standard well used and understood by modern browers.

Thanks,

Kevin

You questions is right on target. I risk getting flamed for this, but I was running IE7b2. 🙂

Tested with firefox and all is fine. Thanks for this!
Hope it might be of some use to know this is the case in IE7.
