DownloadLink fix that encodes non-ASCII file names properly
-----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: WICKET-1115
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-1115
             Project: Wicket
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: wicket
    Affects Versions: 1.2.6
         Environment: Internet Explorer 6, Firefox 2.0.0.8
            Reporter: Volodymyr Sobotovich


When users tries to download file with name consisting of non-ASCII characters 
browsers don't display its name correctly in download dialog box. To fix the 
problem the proper encoding must be applied to file name. IE expects 
URL-encoding to be used and Firefox Q- or Base4. That's why it's necessary to 
detect user's browser type and use the appropriate codec. Codecs were borrowed 
from commons-codec library.

This fix works IE6 and FF2. When I tested it in IE7 a discovered that few 
starting characters are displayed incorrectly. I mean that IE7 must use some 
variation of URL encoding and that's why this patch must be patched more:)
