This pref didn't actually work. Fix it and a test.

Not sure what the problem is. I have this theory that on Windows we might not get the right Content-Type for pdf files.

I pushed an alternative test with an explicit Content-Type header to try: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/jobs?repo=try&revision=790fbd168d6aa7d3547084511356ec11c987336d.

Can you take a look? I don't want to debug windows.

I should have been just as reluctant, it took me until now to get a working windows build again after updating my m-c copy. :-\

So the issue is we hit:

https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/b2433a832c250c55255e0ee37d05192d04f20427/uriloader/exthandler/nsExternalHelperAppService.cpp#851

which looks up a mime info object for the text/calendar mimetype and the not-ics extension.

We first ask the OS. The OS doesn't provide an extension for text/calendar, so this code doesn't find us an extension. We end up hitting all of this code which returns a mime info object with the mimetype and the provided extension (.not-ics).

When we then fill the mime type object with the info from "extras", the provided extension (.not-ics) is still there.

I don't know why the PDF code would have failed; I'd have expected the code to be able to find a pdf file extension... leaving ni for that, I guess.

The fix for this ics issue is probably to allow the GetExtensionFromWindowsMimeDatabase to consult the "extra" info array, but I don't know what other side effects pulling that string of this gordian knot would have...

Wait does that mean this code didn't work on Windows at all? That can't be true, we got bug reports. I am going to land this patch with the test on Windows disabled.

It would work for mimetypes that were recognized in the Windows registry of those users. This is not the case for text/calendar on the Win10 VMs on which our tests run, and my machine. As I said, I think there must be something else going on for the PDF implementation you had before.

I am going to land this patch with the test on Windows disabled.

This seems unfortunate...

Maybe Windows 7 doesn't have a default association for PDF? I remember having to install a PDF viewer when I was using Windows 7. We should just file a follow up bug here.

Ah, if the PDF issues were windows-7 specific, then yes that seems like a plausible explanation.

We should just file a follow up bug here.

OK. Would you mind doing that? I can probably take it.
