Cause

This problem occurs if you specify a Korean Character (ECU-KR-encoded) string as the file name in the Content-Disposition header, and you click to clear the Always send URLs as UTF-8 check box in Internet Explorer 6 SP1.

For example, the Content-Disposition header may be similar to the following header:
Content-disposition: attachment; filename=%C6%F7%BD%BA%C4%DA112.xls
When you try to download this file, the file name in the File Download dialog box appears as 112.xls without the Korean characters.

When you click Save in the File Download dialog box, the file name in the Save As dialog box appears with the Korean characters.
