New submission from daz <[email protected]>:
get_filename() does not parse the Content-Type header for a "name" parameter.
This is the old-style RFC 1341 header. Example:
Content-Type: application/octet-stream;
name="somefile.pdf"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
The email package documentation states:
get_filename([failobj])
Return the value of the filename parameter of the Content-Disposition
header of the message. If the header does not have a filename parameter, this
method falls back to looking for the name parameter. If neither is found, or
the header is missing, then failobj is returned...
As documented, get_filename() falls back to looking for the "name"
parameter in the Content-Disposition header. Instead, it should fall
back to looking for the "name" parameter in the Content-Type header.
