So how hard is it to fix MIME type so that we can view attachments? This has been going on for a while now.

I really do appreciate these forums and the efforts of the maintainers of this site. I hate to sound like I'm complaining, but is there some reason why this is an ongoing problem?

on attached pics, using firefox.
right click, then save link as *.png or *.jpg

for files, hilight the filename.ipk, copy it, then right click, save as (paste in filename.ipk)

What occured recently was... ibiblio upgraded from php4 (yes I know, finally) to php5...

I believe this is a conflict in php5 and the forum engine... but I'm going to determine is there is a fix or if we have to upgrade...

Thanks for the info. It's good to know that we have some idea why this is happening. That puts us closer to a solution.

Ok... we got a little good and a little bad...

Bad is they done support the version of IPB we are running...

Good is an upgrade is prolly due in the very near future...

I will have to talk to the rest of the admin on planning this upgrade

We will keep you posted...

How about if you all:

1) Let us know before you start the upgrade
2) Drop a note to Antikx to post on Tyrannozaurus once a day until it is back up

Just a suggestion.

Apart from the php4->php5 issue, is the problem also platform/browser-specific?

Yesterday I used IE on my office XP box to open the attachments and things seemed to go well.
But both Firefox and Safari on my Macbook fail...
Firefox and Dillo on my C1000 (pdaX 1.1.0 Beta3) fail as well.

InSearchOf · « **Reply #25 on:** March 31, 2007, 09:02:05 am »

Well... I noticed with with IE there isnt an issue with images... but downloading ipk's was the issue still...

So on a site devoted to a linux-based pda we are only going to support IE? Attachments are still broken for firefox. Clicking on a jpg attachment yields a page full of goofy text.

I am having serious problems downloading files attached to PMs. I don't know whether to start another thread as it was a problem before the upgrade.

Files just go splattering onto the screen and I need to download them instead. And wget doesn't do the trick (they are PM gz, ipk, or plain binary attachments without suffixes), I get a "missing file" response.

Do I post details here or start a different thread? I only have access to 3 browsers, and have same issue on all of them: opera 7.30, links, and lynx on my collie.

sdjf, is there a way you can "Save link as" ?
If you can "Save link as", then save it, and paste or type in the filename.
or
copy link location, then use a download helper to download it.

I think that'd be the same as letting one download onto my screen, and fetching the URL for it from my status or history wouldn't it? That was the only way I could get the url to use in wget.

Viewing source gave me only the link's title, not the actual link..

what is a download helper? Is that different than wget?

thanks,
sdjf
