Garbled character in download saveas dialog of webbrowser control for IE9

27 februarie 2012 02:54
I have an app that embeds webbrowser control. On Windows 7+ IE9, when I try to use app to download the file via below html page, I find there's all garbled characters in saveas dialog "File name:" section. It seems browser doesn't convert the characters correctly. This problem won't happen on windows + IE7/8, the problem won't happen on all IE standalone. This problem also happens on Mathon3 which embeds webbrowser control the same as my app. So there should be a webbrowser control bug for IE9.

Below is the log from Fiddler,

So, if the server provides a UTF-8 encoded file name, webbrowser control will fail to decode to ASCII in the save-as dialog. I guess IE9 standalone will decode it at its UI level but not webbrowser control lever anymore.

Hi wuzhebele,
I had similar issue with Webbrowser control. It does not decode the file name wen i open the file from file download dialog. Did you find a solution for this? Can you please share it?
