I have a demo tomorrow with my largest customer and now the documents module is not working.

I've upgraded from DNN 3.1 to 3.3.7 and installed the latest 03.01.06 Document Module. I am now unable to download pdfs.

If I embed a direct link to a pdf into a text/html module, the mime type is set correctly and it uses the Adobe reader. But when I click on the link in the documents module, it doesn't seem to set the mime type. In FireFox, when I click on the pdf the dialog tells me it's an "application/octet-stream". If I opt to save it, then it downloads it without the ".pdf" extension. IE7 also gives me trouble.

I think it has something to do with the "LinkClick.aspx" handler, but I'm not sure.

Thank you.

Scott

Thank You! You saved my butt. I don't know how I missed those threads.

Anyway, the problem is in the core - PDF's with spaces in the name. I renamed all of them it it works now. The post that save me was:

I am also having trouble with 4.3.5 for the same reasons.

I think that the problem is that the DecryptParameter() function cannot handle the already decrypted % codes in the fileticket parameter. The Encoding process returns characters that need to be URL encoded and IE pre-decodes these when doing the HTTP GET of the URL, and Mozilla does not.

The core team should change the PortalSecurity.vb: Encrypt() function to change from Base 64 encoding (with too many bad characters) to base 36 (A-Z0-9) encoding. We can handle 15 more characters in a URL without having to worry about double URL decoding. Who knows what that will do to backwards compatability.

As a general rule of thumb in this business, don't mess with your setup one day prior to your big demo.  If you do take the risk, you better have a good backup of your system, you do have a backup you can go back to right?  Unless you need that one killer feature or bug fix in the new version, go back to your backup and save the headache for after the demo.

Edit to mention that there have also been issues with the Acrobat plugin itself, get the latest one.

Glad I could help.
You missed these post because the search function of the forum doesn't search for multiple words, only for a phrase.
You should search the forum with google. I created a search page for myself since I got sick of typing
"site:http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/ForumsDotNetNuke -replies" every time.
It's the reason why I did find these links.
You can use it if you want it's here.
