Hi,
 
Here is a bug I found in the IMail Web Interface..
 
I  am using windows 2000 , and IE 6
 
 
Create a file in your c:\ called "TEST 1.dat"  * note the space in the filename!
 
Login via the web interface to your imail account.
 
Compose a message to yourself and attach the "c:\TEST 1.dat" file then send the message.
 
Now refresh your inbox, and open the message you just sent
 
Right click on the file attachment  "TEST 1.dat" save target as
 
Try to save the file in your c:\  ( You should get a msgbox saying that the file with the same name already exists ... but YOU WONT! )
 
After saving the file... look at a directory listing for c:\
 
You will notice that you have 2 files with what appears to be the same name...TEST 1.dat
 
The second file you saved really does not have a space in it... the "space" in the second filename really has an ascii value if 160  which is the acented a.
 
This only happens on web browsers.... if you check your mail with outlook the rogue "160 space" appears as a regular space.... Only IE and Netscape have this problem...
 
Netscape reveals that instead of using "TEST%201.dat" it uses "TEST%A0.dat"  If this was changed to %20 instead.. everything would work great...
 
I have reported this to IPswitch twice... so far nothing back from them...
 
Any Ideas?
 
Thanks,
Tim
