Description

Trying to download a file with an arabic name results in the final filename in an encoded form like "%EA%BF...." However, downloading the file using plain old firefox download manager yield the correct name. I suspect, this is not only related to arabic, but rather to any non ASCII file names. Since, the file name is unreadable after the download finishes, this has caused me some pains, thus I have labeled the bug as critical.

Appreciating the help

Having the same problem with russian file names when server encoding is set to cp1251 or koi8-r. File names seem to be decoded using ISO-8859-1 encoding. Checked this on Ubuntu/FF2.0 and on Win2003/FF2.0.

Should be fixed on trunk (as long as the site/headers provide correct encoding for the name; we won't do any charset sniffing).
