A content-disposition repsonse header like:

  Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=bla.foo

will trigger a open file dialog for downloading and saving the requested data. The "filename=bla.foo" part in the header will be used as a default for the name of the file-to-be-saved.

This does not seem to work when submitting an xform though.

If the browser recognizes the content type of the response, the content is shown inline.

If the browser does not recognize the content type, it will show the open file dialog and the last segment of the URL that was used to submit the form to is presented as a default name.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Content is displayed inline for recognized content types. Open file dialog is shown for unrecognized content types, but without the suggested filename as default.

Expected Results:  
I expected to see a open file dialog with the suggested filename as default.

(see attached cgi scripts)
