NT 4.0 sp3, 1.3b3 precompiled
>Description:
If I wanted to have a file with spaces on my server, I have to call it with
%20's replacing the spaces. When I download the file, though, the %20's are
in the filename.
>How-To-Repeat:
n/a
>Fix:
I suggest that the server recognizes that you are requesting a file with %20
or any other replacement, and then sends the file with the filename intact.
For example. Request "the%20file%20I%20request.file"
I want it to save to my system as "the file I wanted.file" without having to
manually replace the substitutions
