Summary	0009998: Export functions generate bad URL
Description	Hi, I am upgrading from v 1.1.2 to v 1.1.6, It appears that the urlencode function generates an invalid file path for exported files. When exporting to Excel, Word or CSV formats, the path to temp directory seemms to contain additional subdirecties which are invalid. I tested this in both v 1.1.5 and 1.1.6 and get the same result. v 1.1.2 correctly export the file to the temp folder.

jreese 2009-01-06 14:36 reporter ~0020548	This is a bug in IE6 (and IE7 perhaps) where they will delete temporary downloads (the user selects 'open now' rather than 'save as') before they are supposed to. Other browsers, like Firefox, Opera, and Safari, keep temporary downloads appropriately. I think the fix will require Mantis to work around IE by setting some headers appopriately when downloading attachments. Perhaps we can get to this for 1.1.7. In the meantime, the proper solution is to use 'save as' from your browser, or to use an alternative browser.

jburt 2009-04-14 17:22 reporter ~0021532	I guess I will try this out. Thanks.
