== Description ==
When downloading attachments, the name of the attachment can be found by reading the header <tt>HTTP::EContentDisposition</tt> in the HTTP response. However, in S60 5th Edition devices, the header cannot be read fully and only a partial header string is retrieved.

== How to reproduce ==
The WebClient application available in the SDK can be used to download an attachment and the following code snippet can be used to read the <tt>EContentDisposition</tt> header once the HTTP response is received.

<code>
 void CWebClientEngine::MHFRunL( RHTTPTransaction aTransaction, 
                               const THTTPEvent& aEvent )
 {
  switch ( aEvent.iStatus ) 
   {
        case THTTPEvent::EGotResponseHeaders:
         {
           RHTTPResponse resp = aTransaction.Response();<br>
           RHTTPHeaders hdr = resp.GetHeaderCollection();
           RStringPool strP = iSession.StringPool();
           RStringF contentDisp = strP.StringF(HTTP::EContentDisposition, RHTTPSession::GetTable());<br>
           THTTPHdrVal tempHdrVal;
           TInt err = headers.GetField(contentDisp, 0, tempHdrVal);
           if (err == KErrNone)
            {
              RStringF field = tempHdrVal.StrF();
              const TDesC8& fieldValDesC = field.DesC(); //the buffer fieldValDesC<br>                                                        //doesn't contain the entire header information
              field.Close();
            }
           contentDisp.Close();
   }
 break;
</code>

'''Expected Result:''' The descriptor <tt>fieldValDesC</tt>, in the above code, should contain the entire header information, including the attachment name.

'''Actual Result:''' The descriptor <tt>fieldValDesC</tt> contains only partial information and doesn't contain the attachment name.

== Solution ==
No Known Solution.
