Double extension stripped out in Internet Explorer?

Hi all,
I was just browsing through some Oracle 9i jsp related demo pages, when I came across this situation:
a sample code page with a double extension, exampletag.tld.txt, that should just display the source code, results instead in a internet explorer parsing error :
"The XML page cannot be displayed, bla bla bla".
Another page with extension .jsp.txt gets executed as if ".txt" wasn't there at all.
It looks like Internet Explorer is stripping out the rightmost extension and is trying to interpret the page.
I guess this could potentially lead to some security risk, if you can run some code out of a plain text document!
I checked this out with IE 5.5SP2 and IE6.0 SP1 and they behave the same.
On the contrary Mozilla 1.5 correctly outputs the page as plain text.
Also, I've checked the mime type configuration in Apache and it's apparently serving text/plain as expected.
As I've recently installed MSXML3 SP4 on both machines, I am wondering if this fact is correlated in some way.

Flavio

Must be my promote-Mozilla-Firebird-week :-)
When installing the Live HTTP Headers extension in Mozilla Firebird you can easily see what the real content type is that the server sends to the browser. Regardless of any extension, the server can tell the browser to interpret any URL just the way the server likes -- like even a URL with a JPG extension could be handled as HTML by the browser, just if the server tells it to. And a URL that ends in .cflav could easily yield an image in the morning and an XML document in the evening. So: there actually is no such thing as extension when it comes to URLs.
And to make things more complicated: the browser starts a request by telling the server what it can handle, and as such the server might decide to serve different content (or content types) to different browsers.
I've checked the mime type configuration in Apache ...well, Apache is not serving the JSP files, is it? Might very well be that Apache passes handling of certain virtual folders to the JSP engine, which then can decide to parse .txt files as well.
So: check out Firebird to get a jump start in your investigation!

How to see settings when "custom level" is greyed out in Internet Explorer

Group Policy is set which causes the custom level button to be greyed out in Internet Explorer. Thus, I can't even see what settings are set let alone change them. Is there any good way to even figure out which settings are set?
And no, it's not in the Group Policy Management Console. The settings were imported from some machine a long time ago. It's not like there's a list of the settings in GPMC showing what is set. So, the only way apparently to change the setting in Group Policy is
to configure some machine with the right settings, install GPMC and import from that machine overwriting the old policy. So, I need to know what's set now (not that I necessarily even want to do that).
machine in question: Windows Server 2008 R2 datacenter
IE version: 9 with all patches

Hi,
Please understand that all IE security settings are stored in the following registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
If you want to check the settings on the machine, you should local the registry keys in Registry Editor. If you want to import the settings from one machine, please just right click on the
target registry key and choose Export to export these settings to a .reg file.
Regarding detailed information about Internet Explorer security zones registry entries, please refer to the following article.

In addition, here is an article about how to reset Security Settings back to Windows Defaults, maybe it’s useful to us.

Internet Options greyed out in Internet Explorer 9 because of GPO settings in Windows 2008 AD

Internet Options greyed out in Internet Explorer 9 because of GPO settings in Windows 2008 AD.
I am trying to find out what GPO setting is causing this so I can change I.E. settings at a desktop running Windows 7.
A GPO has I.E. locked down so settings are greyed out for Intranet settings so I can't change Intranet settings.
How do I enable so I can save changes with a GPO?

Classic GPO using Administrative Templates, is designed to do exactly that (disable the UI).
Previously, you could use IEM in preference mode.
Now, you'll need to use GPP, but there are a couple of limitations.
Check the IE10 IEAK documentation (it's useful for understanding what you can do with GPP)

Don;t use annoyed repeated words. Try to explain exactly what is your problem.
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

How To Remove PHP Extension File Association With Internet Explorer

When I select a PHP file to open it is redirected to be downloaded and opened (or I can choose to save) in Internet Explorer. I need to test the file in different browsers. How can I remove this automatic association?
I've tried selecting a php file from Windows Explorer and selecting a different browser with no success. I recently bought a new computer with Windows 8. It's a big jump from my old one which used XP where there was no problem opening files with
a php extension.
Pat

it sounds like you have a file association for .php, and, that you don't want to have one, so the original default behaviour would instead be preferable?
This discussion, although for Win7, may be helpful:

Double submitting the request using Internet Explorer

Hello Techies,
I have a JSP which is submitting the request using 'onclick' event. It works fine with mozilla but it doble submit the request using Internet Explorer.
Means at the server side, for each request it is creating one thread, but it is creating two threads for the same request at a time when I submit using Internet Explorer.
can u plz suggest me what could be the reason
Thanks
Javed

Hi malco,
Yes it is attatch with submit button. probably you are correct, but it works fine with mozilla... ..... Then what will be the reason ? Actually my code is
<input class="topButton" type="submit" name="do_action" value="Login" onmouseover="this.className='topButton_over';" onmouseout="this.className='topButton';" onclick="doSubmit('Login');">
in doSubmit() is a JS code
doSubmit()
document.forms[0].submit();
Anyway thanks for reply...

Watch out for Internet Explorer 8

Microsoft is sending IE8 as an automatic update
Worked fine on my computer, something went bad on my wife's computer and after the update, IE8 would "flash" and disappear
I wound up having to download the whole thing on my computer and transferring to hers... manual install worked fine and she's back in order
Never had that happen before, but I figure "something" was corrupted during download or install

I've been picking up some poor reviews of IE8. This went back to initial release what, a couple of months back (maybe that was the final beta)? I have everything set manual update, and have even removed IE8 from the list of updates to even tell me about. Since I've used IE for many years now, I'll likely not switch over to one of the others available, any time soon. Still, so long as IE7 works, I'll just stick with it, until I go to Win7.
Sorry about your wife's installation.

Internet Explorer Scroll Problem

Hi, I have run into a major issue with internet explorer and my new website. If you have a way to check this out on internet explorer than i would greatly appreciate it. What it is is like a choppy, shutter effect when a person scrolls down the page. (You can check it out for yourself at: http://www.thelighthouseoflapeer.org. It just butchers my design. Any thoughts or fixes to this issue?

Recently, the Yahoo Toolbar and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause that problem. They seem to overlap invisibly over the top of the web page display. If you have either or both, uninstall or disable them/it, or see if an update is available that solves the problem.

Disable Quicktime plugin for Internet Explorer

There has been discussion on a number of forums regarding the Quicktime plugin for Windows Internet Explorer and how it will hijack file associations, preventing them from being opened up with your default application. This only occurs when clicking on a link on a website. This even occurs when the file assocations in Windows are set to open a particular media file with your desired player. Disabling the Quicking plugin in the Internet Explorer settings may only makes things worse because instead of the file playing with the Quicktime plugin, Internet Explorer displays a red "X", and doesn't play the media. Uninstalling Quicktime is a solution, but if you, like me, own a Apple device and use iTunes, Quicktime must be installed. There are a number of postings on the web with potential solutions, but none of them worked for me.
After troubleshooting for some time, I have finally figured out how to disable the plugin once and for all. I have narrowed it down to the registry entry that apparently loads the plugin into Internet Explorer. By simply deleting this entry, the Quicktime plugin will no longer load with IE and media will be launched with your favorite player. You can easily revert back to the Quicktime plugin by restoring the registry entry from a backup. Below, I have provided the reg.exe command line commands to backup and delete the registry entry.
1) Close out of Internet Explorer.
2)Backup with this command:
reg export "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{4063BE15-3B08-470D-A0D5-B37161CFFD69} " C:\qt_plugin1.reg
NOTE: This registry path is for Windows x64 (64-bit). I am not certain of the path for Windows x86 (32-bit), but I assume you may just need to remove Wow6432Node from the path. If it is not there, open regedit.exe and search for 4063BE15-3B08-470D-A0D5-B37161CFFD69.
3) Delete with this command:
reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{4063BE15-3B08-470D-A0D5-B37161CFFD69} " /f
4) Open Internet Explorer and test. When you click on a music or video link, your default media player should now launch.
I have tested this myself several times, including a reinstallation of Quicktime, and it worked. If it doesn't work for some reason, you can try performing the same steps with the following registry entries. Do one at a time and test so that you don't delete anything unnecessary.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{CB927D12-4FF7-4A9E-A169-56E4B8A75598}
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B}
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Compo nents\3F9E7EA97A1AEE54490637032025DEF9
If you wish to restore the Quicktime plugin, simply double-click the registry file that you backed up in step 2. Click yes when it asks you to confirm. Now when you open Internet Explorer and click on a link, the Quicktime plugin will load and play the media.

I mentioned I have the Acrobat Pro 9 version.
Also, Im using IE 8.

Windows 8.1/Internet Explorer

Hi-How do I tell if Internet Explorer (11) on Windows 8.1 (64-bit) opens in 64-bit or 32-bit natively. I thought I read some where that it opens in 64-bit unless you specify 32-bit.
Thanks

Hi,
In addition, on 64-bit Windows, the default IE is running in 64bit.
If you want to use IE 32 by default, we can manually change the default IE as 32-bit:
a. Go to Default Programs.
b. Click on Associate a file type or protocol always open in a specific program.
c. Browse to all the extensions where internet explorer is set as default and then click on change.
d. Now Click on browse and then go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe and select it.
e. Click Ok and then Close.
f. Click Save.
Or editing the following registry keys to point to the x86 location of IE:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\IE.HTTP\shell\open\command HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\IE.HTTPS\shell\open\command
As well as creating a script to swap out the Internet Explorer.lnk shortcut with one pointing to the X86 version in all existing user profiles.

Installing flash player(error internet explorer)

When I try to install flash player is gives me an error message that I need to get
out of internet explorer. what does that mean?

It means that you need to close all Internet Explorer windows.
If you still get that message after closing IE, check with the Task Manager (Processes tab) if iexplore.exe is still running in the background.
P.S. you must also close any Messenger applications that are running.

Flex Plugin that calls Webservice works in Internet Explorer but not firefox

I created a simple flex plugin that consumed a web service i
built and was working with it locally. I uploaded the files to the
server, and when i test the file out in internet explorer, the
plugin loads great. However when firefox or any other browser
attempts to load the same file i get "Http Request Error"? I've got
a crossdomain.xml loaded up.. here it is:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy
SYSTEM "
http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" secure="false" />
</cross-domain-policy>
Any ideas? Thanks. I should note that the webservice and the
plugin are both on the same domain.

I was playing around some more, when i yank the
crossdomain.xml, both browsers display a security error, but when i
put it back in, internet explorer is happy but firefox still spits
out "Http Request Error"

Internet Explorer 7 crashes when I open a pdf online

I was just issued a new laptop and one of the bugs is that I get kicked out of Internet Explorer whenever I try to open/view a pdf document. Can anyone help? I thought it might be an issue with Adobe Reader, but I just purchased and installed Acrobat Pro and it is still happening.
Thanks!

Thanks - but Firefox is not supported by my employer and we are restricted to use of Internet Explorer. I appreciate you taking the time to try and help though Anyone else have any thoughts? This is so frustrating not to be able to open pdfs online.

Spry Drop Down Problem in Internet Explorer

I have built my spry drop down and it is working in all browsers except for IE. I really need help with this. Attached is my code or you can view it at roemtech.com/menubarattempt.html. It is rendering it vertically and stacking the buttons on top of each other. Check it out in Internet explorer to see what I mean. Thanks so much for the help.

Close Internet Explorer (Failed Download)

I have tried multiple times to install Adobe Flash Player. The program initializes and I allow it. When trying to download it asks me to close Internet Explorer. After closing Internet Explorer, I hit Retry, but the same messages re-appears. I don't understand why I keep getting that message after I've already exited out of Internet Explorer... the program will not let me continue.
