When downloading a file that was sent via a script, be it CGI, PHP, Perl or such, the file extension is incorrect. For example: http://www.squirrelmail.org/countdl.php?fileurl=%2Fsnapshots%2Fsquirrelmail-20021026_0841-CVS.stable.tar.gz The file extension for the above download should be .tar.gz, but it downloads as .tar.gz.tar. The same occurs with MPEG files if they are saves as .mpg, they end up with the file extension .mpg.mpeg. With certain scripts it even puts the extension of the script on the file, for example a text file that was downloaded via a PHP script would end up with the extension .txt.php. An example of a script that would do that is: <?php $location = 'test.txt'; header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream\n"); header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=$file\n"); header("Content-transfer-encoding: binary\n"); header("Content-length: " . filesize($location) . "\n"); $fp = fopen($location,"r"); rewind($fp); fpassthru($fp); ?>
