asset streaminig issues with IE
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:57:16 EDT
Description of problem: IE often ignores the contentType header it seems. Adding the content-disposition header seems to help the problem somewhat, although even with this, IE still attempts to render text files as HTML in some cases. My recent London fix (34599) fixes a problem in generating the filename for the content-disposition header, but it looks as if the changes which this builds upon are themselves not merged into the trunk (or 5.2). As such, rather than merging this changelist, we'll probably need to merge all changes on //ps/apps/london/cms/5.2/src/com/arsdigita/cms/dispatcher/StreamAsset.java How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
The fix referred to is 35499, not 34599. The relevant issues addressed in the london branch are: 1) returning not found errors (404) instead of ServletException (500) 2) setting extension (based on mime type, but avoid foo.ext.ext) 3) quoting filename (avoid client side processing issues for special characters) I am also going to address code duplication between StreamAsset and DownloadAsset, which needs the same set of fixes.
The london fixes have been integrated to 5.2 (@36268), 6.0 (@36273), and dev (@36244 and 36269). There are apparently issues with some IE5.5 versions and the content-disposition header that are not addressed by these patches. When those issues come up, they will be handled.
