RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Chrome's console says "Resource interpreted as Document but transferred with MIME type multipart/x-mixed-replace: "https://192.168.122.176:631/admin/".

Not sure what's going wrong.
Comment 3 Richard van der Hoff 2014-11-08 18:53:45 UTC 
I came across this problem too.

It turns out that, until CUPS v1.4.7, CUPS used a feature called 'multipart/x-mixed-replace' to display the first 'Modify printer' page. In CUPS v1.4.7, they decided it was too buggy to support [1].

Support for this feature was removed in Chrome 29 [2].

The workaround I used was to use the useragent switcher [1] to set a useragent of 'Opera'. This stops CUPS trying to use multipart/x-mixed-replace.

Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2014-11-10 17:46:07 UTC 
OK, even clicking 'Add printer' on the admin page fails. The patch from STR #3455 fixes that.

How to reproduce it:
service iptables stop
cupsctl --remote-admin
lpadmin -p test -v /dev/null -E

In Chrome on any machine, navigate to https://rhel6host:631/printers/test
Proceed even though the certificate is not signed by a CA (it's self-signed)
Click the Administration drop-down and select Modify

Another test:
In Chrome on any machine, navigate to https://rhel6host:631/admin
Click Add Printer
