Download files & header/footer problem

Hello
I'm having two problems on my application.
I've created a table to save the files from a file browser following the tutorial.
Everything is working fine except the download option. When I try to download the file I always get this message: "Forbidden
The requested operation is not allowed".
I've created the download_my_file procedure, executed the grant and changed the download link to use the new procedure.
My other problem is with reports, I'm trying to make a template to my print reports, but header and footer aren't saved. DO I need to make something different for I can use header and footer?

Hi,
Regarding your first question: Are you using OracleXE oder 11g with the PL/SQL Embedded Gateway (no Apache)?
Then here might be a solution:

  • Output to Word displays htt file header/footer

    We recently had to update our headers and footers in both .html and .doc output. After making the change in Project Manager and applying it to all topics, we then generated Word, and in the output it applied the htt/html changes to Word. In other words, it put the htt footers from some topics in the body of our compiled Word document. I even went back and replaced the old footers/htt file and generated and it's still doing it. Any help how to fix this? Jim

    Hi there
    Can you please post a screen capture showing what you see when you edit the Master Page where the Header and Footer are defined?
    Cheers... Rick

  • Download file from web problem

    Hello,
    I want to download image files from my webserver to the local machine.
    The source is: http://www.mysite.com/files/myfile.gifThe destination is: c:\I made the code below, but I always got File Not Found Error
       URL srcUrl = new URL(src);
       FileInputStream fi = new FileInputStream(srcUrl.getFile());
       URL dstUrl = new URL(dst);
       FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream(dstUrl.getFile());It seems that the getFile() function removes the "http://www.mysite.com" from the complete URL.
    Any idea?
    Thanks

    By the way, if a method doesn't behave like you think it does, then it might be time to go and read it's documentation. Because omitting the host information is exactly what it says it will do.

    (I did this and ran into another problem after I 'unjar' the same downloaded file. The problem I have now is on Windows NT, when I click on the 'Oracle Software Packager' program icon (from Start-->Programs Group) it doesn't do anything when it is supposed to Start the program. I appreciate if anyone provides any suggestions on how to get this running.
    I have a problem running. Thanks in advance. Prasad

    How downloaded objects/document are treated in browser is purely "browser defined behavior". Sometime someone said that or these kind of files (recognized by miome contenet - alias file extension) default behavior will be "show inline" or show in browser. This is esspecially true for Adobe 7.x and IE 6.x and Firefox 2.x....
    For a test of my thoughts, install new browser (let say Opera or Mozila) and try to download LOB(doc). I'm sure that "Save As" dialog will show!
    Hope this helps!

  • HELP - Downloading File gets header changed

    Hi,
    We got a problem, when downloading a file from a page the file shows up 'inline' the browser but we create de header with Content-disposition: attachment;
    Oracle 10.2.0.3
    OHS
    Apex 3.0.1.00.07
    In our development system it doesn't occur, in one of our clients it doesn't occur, but in two (different) clients it does.
    We have some pages that let the user download some text files (with width fixed columns). In one of this pages the file is being showed by the browser 'inline' like an html file, but to generate this file we use a procedure like this:
    OWA_UTIL.mime_header(l_mime_type, FALSE);
    HTP.p('Content-Length: ' || DBMS_LOB.getlength(l_blob_content));
    HTP.p('Content-disposition: attachment; filename="'||l_name||'"');
    HTP.p('Content-transfer-encoding: BASE64');
    HTP.p('Content-type: application/octet-stream; name="'||l_name||'"');
    OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
    WPG_DOCLOAD.download_file(l_blob_content);
    in other page that use this procedure too, the download file dialog show up correctly.
    Using FF Live HTTP Headers, i can see the file with problems comes with the 'wrong' header
    HTTP/1.x 200 OK
    Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2008 17:47:01 GMT
    Server: Oracle-Application-Server-10g/9.0.4.0.0 Oracle-HTTP-Server

    Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
    X-Cache: MISS from floyd.infox
    Proxy-Connection: keep-alive
    I debug our procedure inserting the header generated in a table an it's generating correct, with all the options we wanted, i looked around for this issue but didn't find anything. It seems related to OHS, but all OHS (working or not) are configured the same way.
    OHS Error LOG's don't have any information about.

  • Problem with downloading file from FTP server

    Hello all
    I have uploaded a file from an application i developed and i want to download this file from another application. The code is
    public static void FTPcon() throws FtpException{
       String hostname = "my.ftp.server";
       String username = "myusername";
       String password = "mypass";
       Ftp ftp = new Ftp(hostname,username,password);
       ftp.setHostname(hostname);
            ftp.setUsername(username);
            ftp.setPassword(password);
            ftp.connect();
            ftp.setBinary();
            ftp.download("file.dat");
            ftp.disconnect();
    }The error i receive is java.io.FileNotFoundException: public.dat (The system cannot find the file specified) but the file is on the server.
    Thanks in advance for any help

    Cotton thank you for your reply
    Any other sugestions please?The server disagrees. So...
    - the file does not existThe file exists.I checked it with an FTP client program.
    - the file has a different nameThe file name is correct
    - you are connected to the wrong serverI am connecting to the correct server
    - you are in the wrong ftp directoryThe file is placed in the home directory
    - the ftp library you are using is broken (less
    likely)I am using the library from jscape.I dont think is broken because i can upload the file from the first application.
    >
    FTP isn't somehow broken in Java. I use it all the
    time. The problem is something listed above. I would
    check all of the first four if I were you because
    that's most likely where the problem is.Message was edited by:

  • Names of downloaded files appear in Downloads Window only if that window is open during download. I run Firefox 4 on windows xp 32 bit sp3. I didn't have such problem with Firefox 3. Can somebody please help me?

    When I download a file with firefox 4 Downloads Window opens but downloading file name doesn't appear there. If I keep Downloads Window open further downloads appear in it but if i close it and reopen it again it appears blank, all downloaded file names are disappeared. I tried everything, unchecked "Remember download history" box and checked it again, deleted downloads.sqlite file, even created new profile but nothing helped.

    It is easy for me to explain things badly, and I can not see what you are actually doing, I will therfore try to list as steps to take.
    Please confirm that you have used firefox safe mode and still see the problem, by doing the following:
    # open firefox - use any profile
    # use '''Firefoxbutton -> Help -> Restart with add-ons disabled'''
    # you should now see an options dialogue with a list of check box options,
    #*you may get a confirmation option, if so accept it
    #* do you now see the listing of check boxes, with a continue button at the bottom
    #without making any changes, click the continue with safemode
    # firefox should now restart in safe-mode
    Now try the downloading, whilst we know you are in safe mode.
    # once a download has completed, use the option to open the containing folder that you see in your download manager
    ## does that option work ok,
    ## does it open a folder with downloads in it, make a note of the folders path/location/name
    ## do you see the downloaded file you just downloaded
    ## if so regardless of what the downloads folder says you have found the downloads
    ## close firefox and the folders with the downloads
    ## are you now able to reopen the 'containing' folder and find the downloads <br />( use Windows Explorer, not clicking on firefox, - firefox is closed)
    ## close the folder again
    ## open firefox, this time no need to be in safe mode
    ## look again for the containing folder whose name you noted down, does it still contain the downloads
    #'''IF''' you are getting problems now that you are in safe mode read the article about [[Unable to download or save files]]
    ## the article has several steps it suggests you try,
    ## please try all the steps in turn and report what happens with each step

  • Hi im having huge problems trying to install flash for my mac 10.5 imac, iv gone through the internet and tried all of the solutions, everytime i try to install flash it says cant read the download file, or it just wont install, anybody plz help!

    hi im having huge problems trying to install flash for my mac 10.5 imac, iv gone through the internet and tried all of the solutions, everytime i try to install flash it says cant read the download file, or it just wont install, anybody plz help!
    iv unistalled flash, iv checked plug ins it just wont work,

    It would have been a great help to know precisely what Mac you have, so some of the following may not apply:
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
    (If you are running Mavericks: After years of fighting malware and exploits facilitated through Adobe's Flash Player, the company is taking advantage of Apple's new App Sandbox feature to restrict malicious code from running outside of Safari in OS X Mavericks.)
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
    When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
    If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
    You can also try these illustrated instructions from C F McBlob to perform a full "clean install", which will resolve the "Blocked Plug-in" message when trying to update via the GUI updater from Adobe.
    Use the FULL installer for 12.0.0.44:  Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)
    And the instructons are here: Snow Leopard Clean Install.pdf
    (If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
    Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

    It is not the problem of your program. This happens becuase of the "nature" of the excel. You need to retain the text property of that column.
    Try like this:
    1. Download the file in .txt
    2. Open Excel .. blank sheet
    3. Now, click on Open. Select your .txt file
    4. One pop up will come ..."Text Import Wizard"
    5. Select the fixed width or Delimited ... Press Next ...
    6. Select appropriate delimitors or fixed length .. press Next
    7. Select your coulumn (which has the problem), Select the "Text" radiobutton on the upper-right corner and finish.

  • Japanese character problem while downloading file to application server

    Hello All,
    We are facing a strange problem while downloading a file to application server when file contains japanese text.
    We are downloading vendor and customer information in a flat file format on application server. When the login language is EN program show ouput in a properly formatted manner.
    When the login language is JA (japanese) program does download file with customer vendor data. I can see the description is japanese language but the formatting is gone for a toss.
    We are facing similar issue with other programs downloading files on the application server.
    I am using OPEN DATASET........ENCODING DEFAULT. and working on unicode enabaled ECC 6.0 system
    Quick help appriciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi
    Sometimes this also happens because of your desktop setting.Make sure that your OS also supports the JAPANESSE language.
    Ask your technical support team to enable them in your desktop.
    Thanks & Regards

  • What to do if Add Header/Footer tool and Bates Numbering tool both get error message? File too big?

    Hello,
    I'm working with a 700 page / 103 Mo PDF that I need to put page numbers on. Both the Header/Footer tool and the Bates numbering tool result in error messages.
    'An error occurred while retrieving the contents of the page.'
    I suspect this is because the PDF was made by assembling 30 smaller PDFs via Preview and never down-sized during the process. I would imagine that would create a kind of clunky file. Or maybe it's simply the size that is overloading the software.
    Does anyone have any advice on a fix or a workaround for this? I need to put page numbers on. I really want to put them on the composite PDF (going back to the 30 original PDFs would be a real headache for a lot of reasons.)
    Thanks!

    Hi Eliza,
    Your suspicion is right. It might be possible that assembling different pdf's together created from different applications might be the issue.
    Try printing the pdf to Adobe pdf printer and then try adding the page numbers and check.
