File download prompt appears in "Do not close" IE9 window

Forgive me for my lack of Oracle terms because I am not with our Oracle support team. I am with the general support team.
We are on E-business 11i We recently upgraded to IE9 and Java 7 update 45. It seems now when users try to export or download a file from a screen the save prompt appears as the typical save bar at the bottom of the IE9 window that is in the background that says "Do not close this window". This is very confusing to the users.
Is there some settings in IE9 that are causing the prompts to go to that window that no one looks at?

which version of OBIEE/OBIA you are using?

Can not open file download prompt in portal web app.

Hi folks,
I am migrating existing Struts app into portal web app and currently stuck on the following problem.
In existing app, Struts action calls servlet that generates excel file, sets response headers:
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=thename.csv");
that brings up "file download" prompt window.
In portal app, the same code writes excel file content into browser window instead of the prompt.
Has anyone had to deal with similar problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Alex.
Version of portal used is 8.1 SP5
Struts - 1.1

Problem is resolved. For those who might be interested - specifying redirect=true on forward to servlet did the trick.

File Download box appears despite content being text/html .....

Hi
I am supporting a set of web pages which display data to the user based on XML transformed by a set of style sheets. Currently when the user does something and fires the doPost method we get the "File Download" box appear with the message "Some files can harm your computer .................... ". The downloaded file is just the HTML used to display info to the user (with the appropriate embedded stuff from the stylesheet)
I was under the impression that this dialogue box only appears when the content type is not understood by the browser. However, the content type is text/html ... so i am a bit stumped.
can anyone suggest other ways in which this message can appear?
cheers

Just on the off chance anyone else ever has this problem and fins this post ( the problem was solved a long time and i forgot to update the post).
The application in question attempts to log into a database via OC4J. The connection information in the data-sources.xml file was incorrect (specifically the database listener port). This was generating some bizarre exception which was propogated up and resulted in the above behaviour. I suspect that you could get the same effect thogh for many other reasons, so if you are having this problem i wouldnt get too hung up on this as a possible cause,.

While trying to run it show error message : "The application or DLL C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\sqlite3.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette

Just updated firefox. While trying to run it show error message : "The application or DLL C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\sqlite3.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette." Tried to download and install new firefox, but it alway show that the file is corrupt

Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

How do I stop firefox from pre-downloading a file during a file download prompt?

I use DownThemAll as my download manager for files generally over 10MB, as my internet connection is generally too slow for firefox to download a file larger then this without firefox "finishing" a download before it's complete, corrupting the file. This never happens with DownThemAll.
For some sites, either there is no download link to right click or it starts automatically, launching the download prompt. Firefox's internal download manager automatically starts downloading the file (not visibly, but in the background) before I can choose to use DownThemAll from the prompt instead.
This wastes bandwidth. Even worse, some hosting sites have randomly generated download gates for each session that expire after disconnection or limit you to a single download in a given time frame. This means that I effectively can't use DownThemAll on certain websites because firefox's own download manager steps in and gets in the way.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Jar Files download Slow in IE but not FireFox

We have an application (PTC Windchill) that uses jar files within the application. These jar files contain our customizations and get downloaded to the users when they require certain functionality within the application. Each time we update our build (update the customizations) new jar files are required to be downloaded to the client. Recently, we have seen an increase in the number of clients that the downloads take an extremely long time. The jar files add up to about 70mb and on a machine that we consider to be working correctly, this takes less than a minute. On some machines, it takes as long as 20 minutes. We are unable to determine what the difference is between computers (both have the same version of JRE, OS, IE and updates etc.). What is interesting, is the files download quickly on FireFox, every time on every machine. We initially thought this was an IE issue, but we can't pin point it. Also, the files transfer fine through the OS so we don't believe it is network or NIC related. This started out as just a few computers but seems to be growing. We have found upgrading to Apache 2.x.x from 1.3.27 fixes the problem, but breaks something else in our application, therefor is not a solution. This would appear to be an IE and Apache compatibility issue, but why it works with some clients and not others, puzzles us. I was hoping someone out there may have some ideas of what the issue is. It is probably something simple, but not simple to find. Any help is much appreaciated.
Thanks,

It's probably an IE problem.
The installed JREs on the client machines have no relationship with downloading via a browser.
It works fine with firefox because this latter is an open source and frequently upgraded. There are lot of firefox plugins and extensions for downloading tasks: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=download&status=Array
You can allocate more resources for your server and use a multi-thread donwload servlets but it will not resolve the problems of the client side IE browser.

Files downloaded from assets, market are not opening, why is that?

Hi,
Today I had downloaded some of the files from CC assets, market, but when I open the files, i get this message: "Could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-life was encountered"....could I if this is the files issue or the software?

IMpossible to tell. From flaky internet connections to damaged storage devices to simply using an unsuitable browser anything could be at play.

Picasa36setup.exe file downloaded into a firefox tab, not onto computer

I'm trying to download picasa3.6. The exe file shows up after the download as a Firefox tab, not on my computer. How do I install the program?

You can right-click on the download link and choose "Save link as..." - that should solve this problem.

File download from one server does not work (other browsers work)

After uprading to Win7 and FF 7.0.1 the file download from our intranet server stopped working. IE 9 and Chrome 14 does not have any problems. When I try to open for exmple this URL:
https://wwwedu.oulu.fi/intra/?act=58&rnum=26241
I got only an error page:
Corrupted Content Error
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected.

Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem.
I have tested this with two separate computers and got some similar reports from students.
If there is is problem in the headers etc. of the server, I would be very pleased to know that, too!
Thank you very much

Thank you, the discussion in [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=681140 bug 681140] was informative.
(By redbot.org I found out that there was two Content-Disposition headers. They were identical, but other one had one space character more. When they were corrected to identical then douwnload work. Now I still have to find out why there are two...)

When in Outlook I constantly get Firefox file download prompts. I cannot stop this - please help.

The file downloads are always different but have the following pattern of digits: 8-4-4-11.
If I save the file (they seem to range in size from 6 kb to 30 kb)
there is nothing there when I open it.

Hi ljwayne,
Please make sure that it is not an add on by restarting in Safe Mode: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If this continues you can right click on the window and click on "Page Info". From there you can manage the permissions of pop ups from that site.
If it is already blocked please do a virus scan to make sure there is not a virus or adware. For mac I used to use bitdefender.
Last troubleshooting I can think of: try a new profile. [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]

Report Print & Export Issue (File Download Box appears)

We send a URL to Crystal Enterprise which runs a script, logs on, finds folder, finds report and displays in the Crystal report viewer. All that works fine....
However, when you select the print icon or the export icon a Windows Internet Explorer box to select page range etc. and then when you say OK, you recieve a File Download Box asking to Open/Save/Cancel one of the following:
Print - Name: CrystalViewer.pdf, and Type of pdf_auto_file
Export - Name: CrystalViewer.rpt, and Type of CrystalReports
I have no IDEA what he is trying to do but he sure ain't printing. I can only assume that I have a missing part that he is trying to download at the time of print/export. Or that there is something set in the script that is killing me...

    If Err.Number <> 0 Then
      'There was an error setting up the viewer.

Help me???

Quicktime Will Not Close Open Windows

After I record a video Quicktime refuses to close any windows from those recordings. When the red X is clicked quicktime will lag out for a few seconds at the end of which the window has not been closed. The only way to get the window to close is to quit Quicktime with the "Close windows when quitting an application" preference enabled in the System Preferences > General. If this preference is not enabled, Quicktime will refuse to quit and the program must be Force Quit.
I've gone and done the usual troubleshooting steps like rebooting, deleting preferences, etc... This does not solve this issue leading me to believe it's either a poorly thought out "feature" or a bug. Unless there is some new paradigm of closing windows that I am not familiar with of closing window, thanks to Apple;s new paradigm of changing tried and true methodologies for new "simpler", "let us do that for you" ones, this is extremely annoying for someone who want to itterate through multiple video takes quickly without unnecessarily tieing up system resources. If I make a video that I don't want I want to just trash it and be done with it.
Anyway, does anyone know if there is any way to fix this so that I don't have dozens of videos active?

Lets do a few things.
1. Update QuickTime. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
2. Open up QuickTime player.
3. Click on Edit> QuickTime Preferences>Advanced.
4. In the center of this section there is a "Video" section select Safe Mode.
5. Click on Ok and go ahead and close out of QuickTime.
I have also noted that there are SEVERAL bugs with QuickTime and Nvidia Chips.
A few things I suggest you do is to update all of your drivers, and install any pending Windows Updates.
Please post if this worked for you.
