| Message-ID | <DGhct-594-1@gated-at.bofh.it> |
Recently I recognized strange behaviour during pdf download with firefox. 1. When I enter target name with colon - this colon is replaced with space. 2. When target file exists - firefox does not ask to replace it but create file with number. (for example: I have already file.pdf, then firefox creates file(1).pdf) What am I missing?

I can easily see Firefox applying the same sanitization code on all platforms.
