Thanks, missed that one.  Will fix the patch. (stupid quotes are so hard to see first thing in the morning).

:-) That's why the online validator is so useful.

Thantos:
Yeah, too bad my test boxes aren't public facing and I'd be lynched if I just made the changes here without testing/validating it first :D

What's the problem for the opera browser?  It gives a correct format:

reschke:
The only reason to send filename* instead of filename is because the filename might contain characters outside the ASCII range.

If it never does, don't bother with filename*.

If it does, just "filename" doesn't work interoperably. Your best bet is to use the filename* format (following RFCs 5987 and 6266), and to use that for all browsers except for legacy ones (IE < 9) and broken ones (Safari). For those, you can strip out non-ASCII characters and use the simpler format.

RFC 6266, Appendix D (greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc6266.html#rfc.section.D) has the details. See also trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/wiki/ContentDispositionProducerAdvice
