How to return the correct filename when return the attachment?
Hi all,

mvnForum RC1 supports attachment and the url to download looks like this www.mvnforum.com/mvnforum/getattachment?attach=1

The problem is it always return the name getattachment, and I dont know how to return the real filename of it. I guess this is a HTTP related issue, but dont know how to do blushing

Thanks all

Re: How to return the correct filename when return the attachment?
Did you use the Content-Disposition header?
It should look like this as far as i remeber:
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=thisorthat.zip

I already had some troubles with that. Some browsers are somewhat stupid, and still would use the filename from the URL "getattachment".
Only way to fix this is using some weired URL like
/mvnforum/getattachment/123/thisorthat.zip
and 123 is the ID of the attachement.

Thanks skoehler for your suggestion, but I think we should keep it (that is, a low priority task). We should get more feedback from the community

Do i guess that the Content-Disposition header is used, right?

Yes. Content-Disposition header is used. Here is the line that fixed this bug:
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + attachBean.getAttachFilename());

With this line, correct filename if used when downloading. Works with latest Explorer and Mozilla versions.
