Description

I have detected a very strange behavior on redmine.
On various links in redmine the browser reacts not with loading the page i clicked, but pops up a SaveAs Dialog (see attached screenshot).
Until now i have observed this behavior on google chrome (not yet tested other browsers) and on the following links:

  • Show Gantt
  • New issue
  • Issues
  • Administration

When i click the link a second time the page is loaded...
It is absolutely unpredictable and no idea comes to my mind where this can come from...
I have also observed the behavior on other machines in our office running google chrome as well.
Will test on IE for confirmation.

BitNami Redmine Stack 1.2.2-0
Redmine 1.2.2

Can you post the response headers?

Actions #3

Updated by Florian Reischer over 12 years ago

How can i do that? I found a script

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var http = new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP');
// display headers of current document:
http.open('HEAD', location.href, false);
http.send();
alert(http.getAllResponseHeaders())
</script>

but this is for self created pages (and IE i guess)...
Can chrome possibly display the information?

Okay i found a tool in chrome that is called
HTTP Headers:

It shows only little information e.g.

HTTP-Request-Status: 200 (OK)

Content-Type text/html; charset=utf-8

But there is no information about the response.... ? :-/

Just push F12 in chrome and observe Network tab.

The response content type (text/html) looks fine. I don't know why your browser opens the save dialog. Never experienced this issue.

Updated by Florian Reischer over 12 years ago

A collegue uses Firefox and experiences the same issue on the same installation.
I guess i was not accurately capturing the correct response header in the word document.
I will try to reproduce and re-capture the response header.
Actually my collegue told me that it was a kind of Stream response so the Save dialog opened up.
I will try to filter such a repsonse and post it here.

I captured a so called HAR file, now i can see the response in the F12, network window of chrome.
The content type that is responded from Redmine is octet-Stream (See HAR file).
That's why the browser tries to save the data using a SaveDialog...
Is it possible, that the problem is no part of Redmine itself but of the bitnami stack or mongrel (whatever other system is running there in the background)?
If yes, then i would move this whole thing to an appropriate forum or community...

I am experiencing the same issue.

Redmine 1.3.0.stable with Bitnami. Using Chrome 16.0.912.75 m, bitnami-redmine-1.3.0-1 on windows. Issue description (besides versions) is spot on.

Have you had any success with this, Florian?

Updated by Florian Reischer over 12 years ago

Hello Gregory,
no there was no change... It popsup from time to time.
I figured out, that the content type changes to octet-stream from time to time, that's when we get the save dialog in the browser.
I was planning to report this issue in a bitnami forum as well, i thought it might have a connection to the caching... i recognized, that when i do not change anything in the redmine database, the effect does not appear, but when acutally modifying a ticket for example and then clicking on gantt, the issue appears.
This must be a bug somewhere but since nobody in here could replay it... > :/

any idea how to debug it

Updated by Wojtek … about 12 years ago

it seems that the culprit, for some reason, was KeepAlive in the apache2 with the default 15 seconds -- for that time, even thought the page was loaded and displayed the connection was on (active indicator that the page is loading under IE and Opera) and caused download dialog under Firefox and Chrome.

At the bottom - is it safe for apache-fastsgi-redmine configuration to turn off the KeepAlive?
