Harsh J resolved HDFS-128.
--------------------------

    Resolution: Not A Problem

This is more of a browser issue. For instance, Chrome chooses to replace the filename's {{/}} as {{_}} instead of a {{-}} like Safari and Firefox use.

I do not think HDFS can/should take an action here and tweak filenames while sending things out (if you see the headers, the filename is intact with {{/}}s.

> '/' characters are converted to '-' when downloading a file from dfs using the WI. That's a good thing.
> But using firefox, where file names can not be modified when saving to disk, creates local files that start with a '-', which is inconvenient on some OS's.
> the first '/' character should be dropped rather than converted to a '-'
