opening .png files in new tabs...

`jarsonic · Post by **`jarsonic** » December 11th, 2002, 5:16 pm

Up until I upgraded to 0.5, I have beena ble to open links ot .pngs with a middle click into a new tab.
Now, it prompts me to "save as, or open with..." any way I can turn this off / associate it so that it performs the previous behavior instead?
Even associating PNG files with phoenix.exe in the preferences doesn't seem to do the job. Any ideas are welcome.

It works for me using the 0.5 milestone.

Does it do this on all sites (or just one)? Try using the linked png from this site. Are you able to open that one? If it works for you then it's probably a question of a misconfigured server.

The problem always occurs on forums, particularly VBulletin. It's always with "attached" images, not with linked ones. For an example, click the first "attached" item in the first post in this thread: http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php ... genumber=2

If you have no problems, let me know....

P.S. - .png files in general show up fine. It's just when they're atttached to forums w/ PHP in this manner that it askes me to open with or save as. I didnt' ahve this problem in 0.4, 0.3, or 0.2, thus my concern

10:1 odds say the php script is sending the wrong mime type, which Phoenix/Mozilla accept as truth, and go with it. So if it sends application/octet-stream or such, it'll prompt to download. It must send image/png for Phoenix/Mozilla to see it as a png file.

but not in my Phoenix, I get prompted to download.

I get prompted for the download too.

Here are the headers, using a simple http/1.0 get (no user-agent, nor any other request headers, except for Host):

For the record, it's also with jpgs and gifs, any image attached in this manner. Probably you coudl say that any attachment in this manner woudl act similarly, but since most of the otehr attachments you woudl downlaod anyway (instead of jsut view), it doesnt' really matter. Maybe a bug with MIME-type reading, as suggested earlier. As said afew posts back, works in Moz 1.2.1.

It's listed as an 'atachment' - note the spelling mistake, so Mozilla infers it to be an attachment.

Also, I just found the bug for this: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=183653

Note that this is a bug in the bulletin board software, and not Mozilla.
