144010 - View-Page Source forces page/file to be saved, first

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 86835

(Core Graveyard :: View Source, defect)

Description

[David Corbin]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0rc2)
Gecko/20020510
BuildID:    2002051006

I have a URL of the form "/foo/bar.do".  It invokes a server-side application
which produces HTML. (Content-type: text/html).   The browser handles it fine,
but when I do "View Page Source", I'm presented with "Save As" dialog with
"bar.do" as the default file name. 

I don't want to save the file, nor should I have to.  I want to examine the
source for the page.  If it *absolutely necessary* that the file be recorded to
disk, throw it into a file in the temporary directory, and clean up after
yourself when the window is closed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Refer to a URL ending in ".do" that returns HTML.

If you're getting that dialog, you are almost certainly not sending
"Content-type: text/html".  URL please?

I can reproduce this with bugzilla queries on RC2/Linux.

OS -> All

Comment 5

Reporter: Does the Save As dialog say the file is of type
multipart/x-mixed-replace.?? If so, dupe of bug 76816.

Comment 6

[David Corbin]

You are correct.  The Content-Type is not set being set (my mistake for claiming
it was), but I still think here is no reason for the SaveAs dialog to happen. 
The browser correctly interpreted the source,  all I want to do is see it.

As someone else noted, bugzilla queries do this too. (I've updated the URL field
with one example).

No type set?  Thank you.
