Problem with File Names in Downloads
See original GitHub issueDescribe the bug
- DDG browser doesn’t name the files as expected.
- The inner content remains unchanged. The main problem is with the file name and its extension
- The file name doesn’t matter to it and always names it as
uploads
.
I tried to download following type of files from here and resulted as follows:
original file | path | named file |
---|---|---|
File.py | uploads/***/ | uploads.txt |
File.c | uploads/***/ | uploads.txt |
File.js | uploads/***/ | uploads.js |
File.txt | static/***/ | static.txt |
FilewithnoExt | uploads/***/ | no name or uploads.bin |
I’ll try to update this table in future by adding file names when I encounter any issue.
How to Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Download the following type files(original file) and the browser will ask you to save them in the following type files(named file)
Expected behavior Download the file with correct name
