Description:
============

HTTP Response opens an attachment with the correct filename in all browsers except IE. In IE, it shows part of the URL as the file name.

Environment:
===========

BW ALL

Symptoms:
========

While opening an attachment on the client side, the browser will show a URL name as the file instead of the filename given in the “Content-disposition”.


Cause:
=====

This is because the IE browser does not have good support for MIME attachments. Firefox is able to understand the MIME part and pops up a save box instead of showing the binary content inline in the browser.


Resolution:
==========
Empty the mimepart element and move the “Content-disposition” under “Headers” in the “Send HTTP response” input tab. Set the Content type and map the binary content to “binnaryContent” under ResponseActivityInput.
