1195393 - Inline downloads now fail in Firefox 40.0

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Stephen Schultz]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.9; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.0
Build ID: 20150807085045

Steps to reproduce:

Am able to reproduce problem in simple servlet:

    	response.setContentType("application/pdf");
	InputStream is = [get input stream that contains byte array to be downloaded]
	byte[] content = Utilities.readFully(is);
	// verify that correct number of bytes are found
	System.out.println("TestServlet.reportTest(): content.length: "+content.length);
	// write out to file to verify that file can be read from file system
	FileUtils.writeByteArrayToFile(new File("someFilePath/ReportTest.pdf"), content);
	response.setContentLength(content.length);
	// attempt to deliver content inline fails
	response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename=" + "ReportTest.pdf");
	// content delivery as attachment succeeds
	//response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=" + "ReportTest.pdf");
	OutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
	 os.write(content);
	 os.flush();
	 os.close();

This code successfully delivers inline content in Chrome and Safari.
