nginx throws a 502 (invalid header) when downloading a file attachment if filename has a space character

Hi,

Prior to jumping to conlusion about bugs in nginx, how does this response
header actually look like?

Section 19.5.1 in RFC2616 [1] mandates the content of the filename-parm
needs to be a quoted string:
> filename-parm = "filename" "=" quoted-string
> [...]
> An example is
> Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="fname.ext"

Does your response header correctly quote the filename?

Lukas
