Details

On the URL http://www.powerquest.com/updates/index.cfm?ProductLine=PM&FromVersion=8&ProductLanguage=EN if you click on the download link, it seems to stop at the .exe and will not get the actual zip file. Or at least it gives it the wrong name. This is build 2003050714 on win2k
well, the whole thing is misleading. It actually downloads an Akami executable, and that downloads the patch, so I guess it was working.

already filed: bug 166641. Not sure about the investigation and resolution though. The site is using content-disposition (as shown with a sniffer), could be related to bug 185618.

-> reopening You get a .exe file (which is correct) but the filename itself is wrong due to the broken header HTTP/1.0 200 OK Server: Apache Last-Modified: Tue, 27 May 2003 15:05:07 GMT Content-Length: 102605 Content-Type: application/octet-stream ETag: "223cb5-1900a-3c8ccbb7" Content-Disposition: filename=dps-dw.exe Content-Disposition: filename=dps-dw.exe Cache-Control: max-age=6685 Date: Tue, 27 May 2003 15:12:54 GMT Connection: keep-alive (see the double Content-Disposition line) BZ: DO you know what we should do with this ?

Do with what? What is the problem, exactly? The fact that we end up with a filename of "dps-dw.exe, filename=dps-dw.exe"? We can't treat ',' or ' ' as ending the filename, since sites put them in filenames without quoting the filename. And the headers: Content-Disposition: filename=dps-dw.exe Content-Disposition: filename=dps-dw.exe are precisely equivalent to the headers: Content-Disposition: filename=dps-dw.exe, filename=dps-dw.exe per the HTTP spec. So I don't really see what else we could do here.
Thanks BZ ! (FYI: Do with this bug..) -> invalid Someone could write a mail to powerquest that they "fix" their header...
