Thanks Greg-DB,

It's not exactly missing URL encoding, but you drive my to right direction and I found out what's wrong. Since I have used non ASCII symbols in the file name this seems confuses the function. I have no idea why? There is an easy workaround: I just stripped filename in the link; the name isn't mandatory there. Everything works now. 😉

You can take a look if this can be fixed. To reproduce, just rename your "test.pdf" to something like "тест.pdf", for example. It still works while passed as header, but not as parameter! Anyway... I successfully bypassed the issue. 👍

Thanks again!
