I send files with non-ASCII-Characters in their filename to the browser.
I use Content-Disposition: attachment; filename*="utf-8''myfilename".
This worked well for FF7 and below.
In FF8 the filename is ignored (Linux and Windows).
Is this a bug? Is there a better way to solve this?

A good place to ask advice about web development is at the mozillaZine Web Development/Standards Evangelism forum.

The handling of the content-dispositon has changed in version 8 to be more compliant with the RFCs. https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Firefox_8_for_developers#Network
