I do not think the problem is with IIS because IIS does not send any names
to a "File Download" dialog, nor can it cause a "File Download" dialog to
pop up.
On the other hand, a web application can have code that can cause such
dialog to pop up (and is responsible for encoding characters correctly to
have right text show), and a web application can send a response encoded
such that the browser uses a certain name for the file download -- and the
web application is also responsible for the encoding of characters for that
filename such that it follows HTTP rules. IIS just transports the bytes
back and forth.

hi,
My web application has a link for file download (This file is stored in
Database in Binary format). After clicking on which "File Download" dialog
will appear. In this the file name is getting junk.
Please note that Its a Japanese web site and the web application is hosted
on Win2K advanced Server (Japanese version). And the client is also having
Japanese O.S
If you have come across any such problem please let me know.
This problem is coming only for files with Japanese file name. Its not
occuring for files with English file names.
