918291 - PDF file not rendered at all

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: PDF Viewer, defect, P3)

Description

[Martijn Wargers (dead)]

Attachment: kortingscoupon_SEGH.pdf

This is with Firefox24 and on trunk.
The attached pdf file doesn't render at all for me, it just loads half way and then stops doing anything.

As an attachment, the pdf renders just fine, so I guess this has something to do with the headers the server is sending on the url.

HTTP range that is coming from the server:

- Http: Response, HTTP/1.1, Status: Partial content, URL: /OFC/P83/3809/kortingscoupon_SEGH.pdf 
    ProtocolVersion: HTTP/1.1
    StatusCode: 206, Partial content
    Reason: Partial Content
    ContentLength:  132644
  + ContentType:  application/pdf
    Last-Modified:  Mon, 09 Sep 2013 08:22:00 GMT
    Accept-Ranges:  bytes
    ETag:  "087e3a735adce1:0"
    Server:  Microsoft-IIS/7.5
    XPoweredBy:  ASP.NET
    Date:  Mon, 02 Dec 2013 21:16:58 GMT
    Content-Range:  bytes 131072-132643/132644
    HeaderEnd: CRLF
  + payload: HttpContentType =  application/pdf

Per spec "When an HTTP message includes the content of a single range (for example, a response to a request for a single range, or to a request for a set of ranges that overlap without any holes), this content is transmitted with a Content-Range header, and a Content-Length header showing the number of bytes actually transferred."

Which means Microsoft-IIS/7.5 not properly sets Content-Length header for 206 response. See also http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2467528

Lowering priority: the workaround can be implemented to disable the range requests for Microsoft-IIS/7.5 server.
