Unable to download html file from working copy

What Continuum version is this being reported against? What is the html report file you mention?

This is reported against Continuum 1.3.4 version.
Attached is the report file mentioned above.

I have tried replicating the issue using IE 6/7/8, Firefox 3 and Opera 10.

I did not encounter the error mentioned above.

In addition, I wasn't able to download the file and also encountered the following in the logs when clicking/downloading the html file (at least 100kb) using IE.

WARN: /continuum/workingCopy.action: org.mortbay.jetty.EofException

Fixed in r904431 of trunk.

Jevica, I don't understand whether you were able to reproduce the problem (you said you didn't encounter the error, but also that you couldn't download the file.) What did you fix then, and how? What do I look for to test it?

It would be good to have more information in the commit log on r904431 so people can understand what the problem was and how your change fixed it.

What about tests or documentation?

Modification in r904431:

• set content disposition ("attachment;") to be able to download files more than 100mb in size esp. in IE

Wendy, I wasn't able to reproduce the error message:

The XML page cannot be displayed

Cannot view XML input using style sheet.
Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

The system cannot locate the resource specified. Error processing resource 'http://www...

In addition to that, I noticed using IE, I can view the files with <100mb in size.
But I wasn't able to download the files more than 100mb; nothing happens when clicking/downloading the file. This is where the fix applies – telling the browser to download the file rather than to open it.

How does the fix work?

The only change I saw was:

-        <param name="contentDisposition">filename="${downloadFilename}"</param>
+        <param name="contentDisposition">attachment; filename="${downloadFilename}"</param>

I also noticed that small html files display while larger ones download. I don't see anything in the commit diff about the size... is that set somewhere else, or just part of the webapp framework?

(If you did some research on this, can you share the links to whatever you found? Or did you just know?)

I'd like to make a correction, the download size is 100KB and not 100MB. Sorry for the confusion.

The download size is already set in http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/continuum/trunk/continuum-webapp/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/continuum/web/action/WorkingCopyAction.java (snippet below)

if ( ( mimeType.indexOf( "image" ) >= 0 ) || ( mimeType.indexOf( "java-archive" ) >= 0 ) ||
     ( mimeType.indexOf( "java-class" ) >= 0 ) || ( downloadFile.length() > 100000 ) )
{
    return "stream";
}

I have merged the documentation enhancements in r905173 from trunk to 'continuum-1.3.x' branch.
