Add support for RFC 2183 #134

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The official Content-Disposition spec in RFC 2183 does not allow non-ASCII 
characters to be sent. It requires them to be encoded using an extended syntax 
introduced in RFC 2184.

During HTTP communication, however, ASP.NET breaks this rule by allowing 
user-defined encodings on all HTTP headers (via the HTTPResponse.HeaderEncoding 
property). I do not know if Apache has a similar configurable option, or if it 
always uses UTF-8 unconditionally, but it is breaking the official specs as 
well.  Also turns out that some web servers send UTF-8, and others follow the 
RFCs, depending on what UserAgent is making the request.  MSIE supports UTF-8 
and percent-encoded filenames, Opera supports RFC2184-encoded filenames, 
FireFox supports MIME-encoded and RFC2184-encoded filenames, etc.
