When attempting to view or download an attachment, showattachment.cgi does not return a filename, and instead returns its own name. This complicates matters inordinantly when trying to save an attachment to disk, as you have no idea what sort of file you are downloading, or what it should be called.

The submitted patch uses an HTTP 1.1 header that Netscape and IE implement to return the filename with the download. This does not affect text attachments, however, and their name is still a cgi string.

Regarding "Remove any path information stored in the database" in the attachment of 2000-02-07, the regexp /[^\\]+$/ assumes Windows pathnames. To handle both Windows and Unix pathnames, try m{[^/\\]+$} .

This bug has a patch on it waiting to get checked in...

Ah, but the patch is incomplete - assumes it's running on Windows. but it's a three character change to get it running on both Windows and Linux and the change is described in an earlier comment here.

*** Bug 43286 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Point of interest.... according to bug 6519, this functionality used to be in Bugzilla, and was removed on purpose because it broke the XML filetype. What I would suggest here is that if this is put in, that it be conditional, and only add the name parameter if the file is known to be binary (since it's ignored on text, and breaks XML)

will look to evaluate

Adding default QA contact to all open Webtools/Bugzilla bugs lacking one. Sorry for the spam.

moving to real milestones...

There is another bug about this subject which also has a patch attached, but it looks more elaborated to me (and is in diff -u format), so I'm marking this as a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 63601 ***

verif. duplicate of 63601

moving all closed Bugzilla bugs to the new Bugzilla product. This batch is DUPLICATE/INVALID/WORKSFORME/WONTFIX reassigning to default owner and QA in case of the bug being reopened. Clearing milestones, since we really shouldn't have them on these types of resolutions. Sorry for the spam everyone...

Verification got lost.
