Release id #9014 : It's the Best

I cannot dl this!

It loads in the browser as text!

And also, if i say save link as, then it wants to save:
"'s the best"

Both these bugs are age old, and its about time to fix them!

:-)

I uploaded the file without the apostrophe and spaces in the filename.

By the way.. I am using another retarded browser ("Camino" on MacOSX), and in this browser you can't use "Save file As" (or rather "Download Link Target" on a download link in CSDb, because the filename won't come up in the resulting file dialogue. Instead the filename is specified as "download.php". If I do press OK and so on, to download the file to the location I have specified, then the file will work.

Also, if I just click it, to download the file right away, then the filename will be okay. (...but the file will end up in the "Downloads" folder, where I usually do not want files to end up.)

Maybe CSDb is doing something non standard in this download process after all? I haven't noticed this problem with any other site...

...but, yeah, Camino might be to blame too.. I dunno... Just mentioning it, since it might relate to Rambones' problems. (I don't have any specific problems with downloading the file Rambones complain about, though.)

This site is on Apache, no? - Then all that crap could be handled with mod_rewrite or whatever the URL rewriter module is called, I guess.

I guess the bug has been taken care of, since a lot of filenames have these retarded %[number] codes.
It looks like filenames of files that were uploaded before the bugfix, have not been 'mod-rewritten'?

It has not been taken care of, no.

The "'abcd" instead of "it's abcdef" is years old, and WAS fixed, but it just isnt fixed anyway!

The getinternafile.php or whatever has ALSO been fixed, but it isnt fixed anyway!

There was some files that were fixed, and they came to work, and still, the same bug appears on other files.

This suggests there is something fundamentally wrong with the webserver setup.

The filename on its the best is "it%??s%20the best" - NOTICE the %20 in first part, but not in last part of filename!

So its NOT fixed!

What I meant to say is that perhaps some files with bad filenames were uploaded BEFORE the bug was fixed, but the bugfix didn't "retrofix" the wrong filenames.

So bad filenames are still bad if they were created / uploaded before the fix.

The "'" char shouldn't be encoded as any % value as it is a valid char in URLs. See http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt

It must be your client fucking things up, Jan

Apostrophe might be ok in URL, it's a fuck-up in PHP code.

Since people can actually download the file, it would seem that Perff handles that problem?

Hi everyone.

I would be happy to fix the problem, but I have NEVER had any of these problem you mention. I've tried a few browsers on different platforms, and it's always worked fine for me - also if there is a ' in the filename.

So you might understand that it's hard for me to fix a bug I can't recreate. :/

Can someone tell me a 100% sure way of getting the error every time, or are someone willing to help me fix it?

You need Harriezilla's Rambones Explorer for that.

Basically, a content-disposition header was added to make Opera understand that it shouldn't attempt to display the file inline.

All other browsers I've tested (IE6, IE7, FF2, FF3 and Safari) worked fine before, so I'm guessing that rambones used IE5.5 or older when he claimed that it didn't work in IE either.

Whatever you changed, the problems with the Camino browser that I mentioned above are now also gone. Nice!

As Seven said, we just added a content-disposition to the header.
For more/better explenation I refer to Seven. (I just did what he said :) )
