File downloads with special Characters

This entry was posted by on Thursday, 4 April, 2013 at

It is possible to download files with special characters in it, it just looks very strange.

The Header looks like this:

Content-Disposition attachment; filename*=UTF-8”specialChar_%C3%A4%C3%BC%C3%B6%C3%9F.doc;

that is (in php)

header(“Content-Disposition: attachment; filename*=UTF-8””.  urlencode( $filename ) . “;” );
