223045 - isc.org - Mac Mozilla/Firebird/Camino links download as ASCII in-line

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(mozilla.org :: FTP: Mirrors, task)

Description

[Fred Trinkoff]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7

There are some files, then when I try to download them, they appear inline
instead of getting a dialog box. Most annoyingly, it happens on pretty much any
Mozilla.org project. You would think Firebird could handle it's own download
format. These are also very large file which slows everything to a crawl.

Combining this with bug 222341 ( "Save Page As...", etc don't work ), it makes
it impossible to download other Firebird or Mozilla builds through Firebird.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download certain files - particularly .gz seems prone to it
2. Watch it appear inline
3. Watch it be impossible to download the binary because "Save Page As..." and
"Save Link As..." don't work either!

Actual Results:  
self-explanatory

Expected Results:  
self-explanatory

your url seems broken (no file there).  to hazard a guess, i'd say that the
servers you are downloading from are sending the wrong content type (which IE
happily accepts, unfortunately).

Comment 2

[Fred Trinkoff]

Okay, this URL has a file... dunno what happened to the Firebird download (that
link was from versiontracker). With all the problems experienced, did you guys
pull it?

Anyway, this Mozilla 1.5 link also does it.
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.5/mozilla-mac-MachO-1.5.dmg.gz

It's possible that your thought it right, but it's your own servers, so I would
think you guys would do right by your own browsers.

The "Nightly Build" link on the front page of mozilla.org just loaded as text on
my Mac (10.2.8) in Moz 2003101505

Perhaps this is the problem:

Also confirmed with:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firebird/nightly/latest-trunk/Firebird-mac.dmg.gz
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/camino/nightly/latest/Camino.dmg.gz

However, the Release links work correctly:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.5/mozilla-mac-MachO-1.5.dmg.gz
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firebird/releases/0.7/MozillaFirebird-0.7-mac.dmg.gz
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/camino/releases/Camino-0.7.dmg.gz

There's something weird happening on the web server.

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

there are 4 different mirrors that answer to that domain name.  Obviously some
are configured correctly and some aren't.

Comment 6

[Scott Kveton]

What is the desired mime type?

Please test with:

http://mozilla.oregonstate.edu/
http://mozilla.isc.org/
http://mozilla.ussg.indiana.edu/

and tell me which one worked correctly.

Comment 7

[Frankie]

Ah, the problem is at ISC. OregonState is perfect (type octet-stream & encoding
gzip); Indiana and GATech are close but not quite (gzip & none would be valid,
but gzip & gzip imply foo.gz.gz)

[Scott Kveton]

Now that is my kinda bug report ... haha ... :-)

Okay, Indiana should be fixed now.  Am waiting to hear back from Gatech and ISC.

Comment 9

[Scott Kveton]

ISC is working correctly now.  Still no word from Gatech ... i think somebody is
on vacation there.  However, it is functioning ... just not ideally.

All 4 ftp mirrors now work with Mozilla and download properly.  Thanks.
