POWhy does Firefox trim the response file name?
text
Body
copied!<p>The following code accesses a helper method which creates and returns an EPPlus ExcelPackage, then returns the package to the browser:</p> <pre><code>public ActionResult DownloadMatrixExcel(int projectId) { try { // Get project details var project = (from p in db.Projects where p.ProjectId == projectId select new { companyName = p.Company.Name, projectName = p.Name }).Single(); // Must append file type to file download responses var fileName = project.projectName + "-" + project.companyName + "-" + DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMdd", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) + ".xlsx"; // Configure response Response.Clear(); Response.BufferOutput = false; Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet"; Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + fileName); // Create and populate excel package var matrixSpreadsheet = ExcelHelper.BuildMatrixExcel(projectId); matrixSpreadsheet.SaveAs(Response.OutputStream); } catch (Exception e) { return Content("Error: " + e.Message); } // Download okay - No ViewResult return new EmptyResult(); } </code></pre> <p>Works fine in every browser I have tested but FireFox 18.0.1 (have yet to test other FF versions) trims the file name at the first space, so "someproject - somecompany - thedate" is just "someproject". I can do a Replace and remove spaces but this makes some file names look a bit odd. File extension seems to be intact and no other issues but wondered if anyone could offer an explanation or fix? </p>
