attachment name and type problems

[Cheryl Chase]

I have installed bugzilla (2.16.3) on Redhat 9, perl 5.8.0, mysql
3.23.54. I'm accessing it using a variety of browsers (safari 1.0,
ie5.2.2, mozilla 1.4) on OSX.

When I upload an excel file named foo.xls as an attachment, bugzilla's
autodetect produces a type of "application/octet-stream". When I try to
download the attachment, it creates a file named "attachment.cgi". This
is not affected by the actual file name.

When I visit landfill.bugzilla.org/bugzilla-2.16/, the upload and
download behavior is correct (autodetected type application/vnd.ms-excel
, downloads file with name "foo.xls").

When I return to my own instance of bugzilla, and manually set the file
type to application/vnd.ms-excel, I still get the file downloaded with
name "attachment.cgi".

I'm surprised that the behavior of my instance is different from that at
the test installation (landfill.bugzilla).

Any help appreciated.

I have also had the same problem (same bugzilla version). Have you been
able to find a solution?

This is fixed in later Bugzilla versions - we started sending the
appropriate filename-giving headers.
