Description

Attachments are saved using page name instead of file name when using Safari on Mac OS X 10.3.7.

Steps to reproduce

1. attach a file

2. create a link HelloWorld.cpp

3. do a right click on the link above and use "Verknuepfte Datei laden unter"(safari, ger.) equivalent to "save as" for most browsers
4. file will be named according to wiki page but not file

Example

Details

• This Wiki
• MacOSX(10.3.7) with Safari(1.2.4(v125.12)) and Internet Explorer(5.2.3(5815.1))
  • Internet Explorer is not supported any more even by Microsoft, no point to report bugs with this crap.

Workaround

Do not Safari under Mac OS X 10.3.7, or

1. fist click on link, so the browser will display the file.
2. Use one of these:
   • use save as
   • browse back, right click on link and save as... voila. file is saved with filename.

Discussion

Sorry, don't know if it is a Safari Mac specific problem. I do not have a windows machine at hand.

I can't reproduce it on Mac OS X 10.3.3 with both Safari and Firefox. Try to give more precise description - your OS version, browser etc. For example, there is no such menu item "Save as". The menu item in Safari is "Save Linked File as..." and it does save the linked file using the file name. -- 192.115.134.51 2005-01-04 12:31:50

I cannot reproduce it either on Windows.

Appended versions of OS and Browsers. -- MatthiasMohr2005-01-05 not a bug for:

• MacOSX(10.3.7)
  • Camino 2004082512 (v0.8.1), quite old.
  • Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Please try this to detect the source of the problem:

1. Create a new user (Apple Menu -> System Preferences -> Accounts)

2. Try to reproduce the bug

If everything works fine under the new user, you have a problem with broken preferences. This can be solved by deleting preferences from your Libarary folder, or by moving your stuff to the new user.

Also try to run the Mac OS X Combo updater, this is known to solve strange problems.

This seems like Safari bug, report to apple. Bug closed until we have new evidence. -- NirSoffer 2005-01-05 10:52:23

Tried:

• different user, I may not create new users, but various collegues tried it also, same result.
• What is combo updater? I do software updates as they come. Current version 10.3.8 and still hanging. waiting for a Safari update.

I can't reproduce it also on 10.3.7. Try to run 10.3.8 Combo updater. Try also with English (Go to System Preferences: International, put English as first language, quit Safari and open it again, try to save again). -- NirSoffer 2005-02-17 10:47:15

This problem exists because we use Content-Disposition: in the HTTP request. Unfortunately, not many browser do handle it correctly. 1.4 should not depend on this quirk.

• Maybe, but Safari has no problems with this.

Reproducible also with current firefox trunk linux. See mozilla bug 299372 details if interested (basically, waiting for headers before showing a saveas dialog has its own problems too). It would be helpful for the browser if moin could indicate the filename in the url as e.g. http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MoinMoinBugs/AttachFileDownload/namespacemegently...attachments/HelloWorld.cpp in the example case above. -- tuukka 2007-08-15 23:11:15
