Yes I agree, my problem is with file extensions and is platform specific but I'ld like to understand it so I can get a fix.
So in the time since I wrote the original post, I've done some more testing. I've run now with the following combinations: Browsers: Firefox (2.0.0.9, 3.0.8, 3.0.10), Safari3.2.1, Opera9.6.4, IE5 Plugins: attachment_fu, paperclip Servers: webrick, thin, mongrel (ruby 1.8.7 only) Ruby: 1.8.7 and 1.9.2dev Rails: 2.3.2 OS: OSX 10.5.6 The problem is specific to Firefox and displays only when using: <%= link_to image_tag(photo.public_filename(:thumb)), photo.public_filename %> in attachment_fu, or: <%= link_to image_tag(@photo.snap.url(:medium)), @photo.snap.url %> in paperclip. If the photo is named "photo.jpg" all works as expected. If the photo is named "photo.JPG" the link image on the from end of the link displays correctly even though it's name is something like "photo_thumb.JPG". Following the link however causes firefox to request an action to correspond to content type "JPEG Picture". I've also done a simple test where all actions are local, i.e. from file:// rather than http:// locations. All extensions behave correctly. Anyone out there want to test this out on a different OS? browser? server?
