Hi,

I'm trying to download a file from a web but it gets truncated! When the download starts it only have the first word and no file extension.

I searched in the HTML code of the web but seems ok, since it has it double quotes surrounding it. Here you have an example:

<a href="/file/directions/trying/image/first_file/File to be downloaded v1_EN.xls"> FILE I NEED TO DOWNLOAD</a>

I already tryed to add %20 intead of spaces in the url and didn't work. It seems that this problem started with the last update of Firefox. It works ok in Chrome and Edge. Any solution?

How is this file send by the server?

This is likely not a problem with the HTML code (href attribute in link), but about the HTTP response headers that aren't formatted properly.

The server may not comply to RFC 5987 and sends a wrong Content-Disposition:attachment; filename header.

I see this in the Network Monitor and there aren't quotation marks around the file name, so Firefox truncates with the first space:

Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=LISTADO PROYECTOS APROBADOS 1 CONVOC v1_ES.xls
Content-Type: application/octet-stream

Is this on any webpage or some?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Yes, the problem is still there! You can find it here:

  • LINK DELETED*

It happens when you try to use any download link of this page.

I tried one of the links and had the same problem. Contact support for that site.

For now; Right-click the link and select Save Link As then fill in the filename and extension yourself.
