[jira] Created: (WW-2647) result type stream issue with inline file
download in IE6
result type stream issue with inline file download in IE6
---------------------------------------------------------
Key: WW-2647
URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2647
Project: Struts 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Other
Affects Versions: 2.0.11
Environment: Tomcat 5.5.17 as web server
Using Eclipse 3.3 as IDE
Reporter: Ashish Sharma
Hi,
I am using struts 2.0.11.
I am facing an issue in downloading pdf files as inline (open file in same browser window), in IE6.
Instead of opening the file in the browser window, pdf is opened separately and browser window remains open with nothing inside it.
Following is the result defined for my action.
<result name="success" type="stream">
<param name="contentDisposition">inline;filename="abc.pdf"</param>
<param name="contentType">application/pdf</param>
<param name="inputName">reportStream</param>
</result>
However this code seems to work fine for both IE7 and Firefox 2.0
Can you please look into this.
Thanks,
Ashish

[jira] Commented: (WW-2647) Result type stream issue with inline
file download in IE6
Posted by "Jeromy Evans (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.
[ https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2647?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=44304#action_44304 ]
Jeromy Evans commented on WW-2647:
----------------------------------
The case of Content-Disposition has not effect. I investigated this issue last year and created a custom Result to investigate every header combination.
*My final advice is to NOT use inline disposition for PDFs. Some users appreciate the "Open With or Save prompt".*
There are several IE issues if you really want an inline response:
1. The content length header MUST be present
2. the *request* URI must contain .pdf, irrespective of the filename. ie. it must contain .pdf *anywhere* in the URI
About IE mimetype sniffing:
http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2005/02/01/364581.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms775148.aspx
If you're using SSL, you need you need to ensure the PDF file is at least 8kb [1], include the Cache-Control: no cache header, include the Cache-Control: no store header, ensure your users are using IE6SP1+ and that they have the "save encrypted pages to disk checkbox turned off [2]

Still worth the effort?

Description:
Hi,
I am using struts 2.0.11.
I am facing an issue in downloading pdf files as inline (open file in same browser window), in IE6.
Instead of opening the file in the browser window, pdf is opened separately and browser window remains open with nothing inside it.
Following is the result defined for my action.
<result name="success" type="stream">
<param name="contentDisposition">inline;filename="abc.pdf"</param>
<param name="contentType">application/pdf</param>
<param name="inputName">reportStream</param>
</result>
However this code seems to work fine for both IE7 and Firefox 2.0
Also this is not a browser issue with IE6, as i can open the pdf file in same window using the conventional approach below:
HttpServletResponse response = ServletActionContext.getResponse();
response.reset();
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
response.setContentLength(l_data.length);
response.setBufferSize(l_data.length);
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=\"abc.pdf\"");
OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
out.write(l_data);
out.flush();
response.flushBuffer();
Can you please look into this.
Thanks,
Ashish

Bob Tiernay commented on WW-2647:
---------------------------------
One difference I see in StreamResult.java is the header name:
oResponse.addHeader("Content-disposition", conditionalParse(contentDisposition, invocation));
versus the working example above:
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=\"abc.pdf\"");
Notice the case on "disposition"
from http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1806.txt we note:
In the extended BNF notation of [RFC 822], the Content-Disposition
header field is defined as follows:
disposition := "Content-Disposition" ":"
disposition-type
*(";" disposition-parm)
Recommend changing the case to match the spec.

------------------------------------
I can confirm the same issue in IE7. I checked the original source code and the following line is missing:
//Clear any data that exists in the buffer as well as the status code and headers
oResponse.reset();
after this line
// Find the Response in context
HttpServletResponse oResponse = (HttpServletResponse) invocation.getInvocationContext().get(HTTP_RESPONSE);

---------------------------------
I updated StreamResult to match the RFC (fancy that) but don't have IE6 to test until Monday, so if someone can confirm that it really does make a difference that'd be swell, otherwise I'll do it Monday (23 Jun).
