Hi,
We have Korean customers, who need to download files from
the middletier to the client. They have files of which
name has Korean characters.
To implement this feature, we set HTTP header as below.
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=%E3%81%82.txt
Here we set filename with non-ASCII characters in URL
form in UTF8. Then we observe two issues with this.
1. Open dialog does not work properly
The confirmation dialog and the save dialog
show file name correctly and the file can be saved
succesfully.
However, when our customers select "Open" in the
confirmation dialog, the associated application
gets the file name in URL encode form as it is.
2. The behavior of download gets affected by Advanced
Option
There is an advanced option named "Always send URLs as
UTF-8" in "Tools - Internet Options - Advanced" menu.
The default setting for this option is "checked".
Then file download works as mentioned in #1 when
we encode non-ASCII character in URL form in UTF8.
But if this option is "unchecked", non-ASCII characters
are garbled in all dialogs.
So we tried to encode non-ASCII characters in the
character set of their client setup, which is EUC-KR.
Then the confirmation dialog gets garbled characters
though the save dialog shows them correctly.
And the behavior of "Open" is the same as #1.
So we think there is no way to get file download work
thoroughly unless the above issues are fixed by IE or MS
can provide the guide to fix this issue.
If you can provide us any information about this issue, I
would appreciate it.
Regards,
Itsuo
