I think we can close this as 'wontfix' for the current content-disposition spec, #245 <http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/ticket/245> noted that %xx in the filename isn't interoperable. If we add an appendix for error-handling, that might specify handling of percent-encoding, of course. Thoughts?

It's true that support for this isn't widespread now (according to<http://greenbytes.de/tech/tc2231/#attfnboth>), but at least there's a strategy in place for getting from here to there without breaking anything. To make it complete, I agree with the notion that we can warn servers away from generating filename parameters with literal % in them, because there's no interop there. >> ... > > There's only one UA doing this wrong right now, and that's Firefox (for which a patch is available). > > Best regards, Julian > -- Mark Nottingham http://www.mnot.net/
