Comment:

 I am not relying on plugins, however, you are right that there was an
 error in my approach.

 I used `<a download="'.$filename.'" href="'.$fileurl.'">handle</a>` (where
 of course the $vars are previously dynamically populated).
 That generates a link where the `download` attribute has a couple dots too
 many in it, and thus creating a downloaded filename of
 `file.name.more.dots`

 By changing that to use another, non dotted filename (stripping them prior
 to usage) resolves the issue.

 Sorry the unnecessary trac ticket.

 Closed as non-issue.
