[Bug 254895] New: Strange behaviour when opening PDF files
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=254895 Summary: Strange behaviour when opening PDF files Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Firefox AssignedTo: bnc-team-mozilla@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: uli.2001@gmx.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Using Firefox with XPDF installed, I get the following behaviour: When I click on the link labeled "PDF" on http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0703427 the download window opens: It says "Vom Typ: PDF File" ("Of type: PDF File"), and does not offer a default application. When I click on any link labeled "PDF" on http://www.uni-math.gwdg.de/jahnel/linkstopapers.html the same window opens, but it says "Vom Typ: PDF-Dokument" ("Of type: PDF-Document"), and offers XPDF as an application to open the file. Furthermore, when I had KPDF but no XPDF installed, I think that KPDF was never offered when trying to open PDF files (but I am not 100% sure). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Try to download the first PDF, exit firefox and attach /tmp/nspr.log Remove the logfile and do the same using the second PDF example and attach the resulting logfile as well. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=254895 ------- Comment #2 from wolfgang@rosenauer.org 2007-03-15 05:55 MST ------- Both PDF links specify the correct content-type "application/pdf" but the first one is no link to a file named *.pdf but just a random URI w/o any extension. My guess (w/o having seen the logs yet) is that Firefox doesn't offer xpdf because the filename doesn't match the content-type in that case. If this is a bug or not is not easy to decide but I'll follow up when the logs confirm this behaviour. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

The difference is basically the filename but that could be really a bug in firefox. Will investigate. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
