I'm writing a control that downloads a file to the user, using
Content-disposition:attachment;filename="Foo.bar.doc"
When the file downloads, IE opens it as Foo[1].bar.doc. Is there any way
to work around this behavior? The numbering of the files downloaded is
sensitive (for revision control), so it would be ideal to keep the name the same.
Hi Peter,
I wrote a document management application for our organisation and
experienced exactly the same problem as you have identified - in the first
instance we prevented users from having .'s in there version numbers, but
being the NHS this caused problems as there were already documents (hard
copies) out there that had to be entered onto the system and a 1.1 for
example was neccessary. I never did get a suitable resolution to this. I
suppose - if it could be implemented you could use other characters, ie 1-1,
1-2, 1-2-1 etc - not ideal I know - but it would be
something...alternatively live with the square brackets (as we've done for
now)..
Sorry I cant be more help.
Regards
Rob
