bogus Content-Disposition header field sent to Firefox

(1/9) > >>

reschke:
We believe the site is sending a bogus Content-Disposition header field for download links (to Firefox). This will cause Firefox 8 to ignore them.

See details in Mozilla Bugzilla entry 685060.

mashby:
Mind providing a link to Mozilla Bugzilla entry 685060? Firefox 8?

reschke:
I would have done that if the forum software would let me do it.

Let's try this:

bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685060

Kindred:
Firefox 8? ???

Firefox 7 was just released in Beta...   We don't even pretend to support alpha versions of browser softwares...

reschke:
Firefox 8 goes beta in three weeks and will be released in nine weeks. At that point, the download links will fail to work (the name not being used).

This is caused by the software special-casing Firefox, and sending a broken header field value, which won't be accepted anymore.
