Re: [Dspace-tech] Problem opening documents larger than 6K in DSpace using Firefox
Thanks, Terry: I added the patch to my test server. What I have found is that video and other files greater than 6MB now can be viewed and downloaded, BUT I still get file damaged and could not be repaired when using Firefox to view a PDF greater than 6MB. I am wondering if there is something else that is causing this PDF problem.

I've never seen problems with files smaller than 10 mb, but set the threshold in the code to 5 mbs. --TR From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of George Kozak Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2008 12:49 PM To: Thornton, Susan M.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Problem opening documents larger than 6K in DSpace using Firefox
Terry, Susan, et. al... I responded too quickly! I reset the threshold for the patch to 6MB, and now everything is working using Firefox. Thanks again, Terry!
