Problem downloading attachments

[ccheaton]

Ok.  I can't do it now, but I'll try tomorrow or sometime soon.

I can tell you something to change that might fix it, but the problem is it could also break it for other browsers, and wouldn't work exactly the same.

Sure...  I could at least give it a shot, I suppose.  I have a test forum that is a mirror of it that I can try it on.  If it breaks, then I'll just change it back.

Find, Sources/Display.php:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

// Send the attachment headers.
header('Pragma: ');
header('Cache-Control: max-age=' . (525600 * 60) . ', private');
if (!$context['browser']['is_gecko'])
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: ' . gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s', time() + 525600 * 60) . ' GMT');
header('Last-Modified: ' . gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s', filemtime($filename)) . ' GMT');
header('Accept-Ranges: bytes');
header('Set-Cookie:');
header('Connection: close');

if (!isset($_REQUEST['image']))
{
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' . $real_filename . '"');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
}

Replace:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

// Send the attachment headers.
header('Set-Cookie:');
header('Connection: close');

if (!isset($_REQUEST['image']))
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="' . $real_filename . '"');

That should still work.

Also find this:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

// This is done to clear any output that was made before now. (would use ob_clean(), but that's PHP 4.2.0+...)
ob_end_clean();
if (!empty($modSettings['enableCompressedOutput']) && @version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '4.2.0') >= 0)
@ob_start('ob_gzhandler');
else
ob_start();

Replace it with:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

ob_end_clean();
ob_start();

header('Content-Encoding: none');

... theres always hope and light at the end of the tunnel...

And how can you be sure it isn't the oncoming train?

No, serious. I've seen the same problem with an IE6 with all latest patches included whereas it works fine on all of my own PCs (IE6+5.5 as well). Really seems to be an issue with some strange Windoze and/or MSIE security (?) settings.

Even the fix [Unknown] suggested did not help at all.
