Export configuration file typo

Developer

Hi!
While testing the export config file feature, I noticed a typo in the file created.
The . between filename and its extension is replaced by %2E

Installed package: duplicati-2.1.0.105_canary_2025-01-07-osx-arm64-cli.pkg

Welcome to the forum @macSOSfr

Not reproducible on Windows 10 with Edge browser. File automatically downloads like:

What browser are you using, and is GUI a localhost connection or possibly via a proxy?

If test backup is pretty small, you can also try Create bug report to see if it fails too.

Does your browser have any developer tools to watch the network traffic? Is this Safari?

Content-Disposition

You may want to avoid percent escape sequences in filename, because they are handled inconsistently across browsers. (Firefox and Chrome decode them, while Safari does not.)

2.0.8.1 sends:

attachment; filename=test-duplicati-config.json

2.1.0.105 sends:

attachment; filename=test-duplicati-config%2Ejson

I don’t think it’s a typo. It’s probably Percent-encoding. ASCII codepoint for period is 2E.

Thank you. I knew it was OK on Windows.

Browser is Safari on a freshly installed VM with macOS Sonoma 14.7.2
Bug report as you suggested is just fine.

Just installed Brave and Firefox, and the name of the file is rightly formated with the Export config feature.

That one has Duplicati saying this to Edge:

Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=bugreport.zip

so whatever is seemingly percent-encoding period didn’t in this case.

Regardless, a developer will need to look, but I might reclassify this topic to Support anyway.

On the same thread, the “Right-click and choose Save As…” with Safari offers a filename set to “export” without the .json extension. The extension must added in the popup or manually by renaming in Finder

With Firefox, it saves as export.json

Narrowed issue down to seeming introduction in 2.0.9.102 which changed a lot in this area.
Most notably, I think it’s when the web server changed to Kestrel. That’s all the clues I have.

I have tracked it down and created an issue for it.
