I believe I have had this happen as well.... except when I did it, I noticed that the binary file was in a database.

For instance, the link pointed to http://www.someplace.com/getfile.php ... however, this retrieve the binary from a database and sent a header to the browser containing the content type but it asked to save it as a .php. I just took the php from it and it worked fine.


I just remove the .php from the file name and save as usual. I'm not quite sure if the files I was attempting to retrive were from a database since I do not remember the locations of the last files.

You can help the browser out by adding an HTTP header (if you have access to do this). Just add the following http header to tell the browser the real filename:

Code: Select all

Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="$FILENAME"

This is a bug in Mozilla 1.3, because I am getting it with mozilla 1.3 too (on fresh WinXP installation).
Why would you even consider to use the OS that is older and more obsolete than your computer?
See, that's just one of the reasons why I pick Linux.
