http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43913 Summary: File and setenvif directive for large PDF file Product: Apache httpd-2 Version: 2.0.52 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Core AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I found a strange problem than came with an httpd directive even it may be caused by acrobat reader plug-in or by the way browsers react in the particular case. Im using different httpd servers on different platforms, all using version 2.0. For this explanation, the first one is a RedHat Enterprise LINUX release 4, update 4, with httpd server version 2.0.52. The DNS name of server daet99.d1.f1.enterprise The httpd.conf file contains the following directive: Alias /hpwd "/FS03/hpwd" <Directory "/FS03/hpwd"> Options Indexes MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> On the server, the directory involved contains: ls -lh /FS03/hpwd/ total 99M -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 68K Nov 16 11:32 CSS-2.0.pdf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12M Nov 16 11:28 mysql-refman-5.0-en.a4.pdf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 87M Nov 19 10:37 Yes-CloseToTheEdge.mp3 There are 2 PDF files, a small one and a large one, and a very large MP3 file. I use the following browsers on my windows workstation: Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.070227-2254 and Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.9 Both browsers use plug-in to handle pdf and mp3 files (Acrobat Reader for pdf, and Apple Quicktime for mp3). I use Acrobat Reader 7.0. Everythings ok with both browsers when I type the complete URL of the different files (http://daet99.d1.f1.enterprise/hpwd/CSS-2.0.pdf for example) Now I add the following directives to block direct access to pdf and mp3 files, and only accept access from another httpd server with DNS name daet6.d1.f1.enterprise: <Files ~ "\.pdf$"> Order allow,deny SetEnvIf Referer "^http:\/\/daet6\.d1\.f1\.enterprise\/" hpwdAccess Allow from env=hpwdAccess </Files> <Files ~ "\.mp3$"> Order allow,deny SetEnvIf Referer "^http:\/\/daet6\.d1\.f1\.enterprise\/" hpwdAccess Allow from env=hpwdAccess </Files> Now I got an error message when I try to access file with previous URL. Fine, thats what I wanted. Then I create a web page that contains, among other: <a href="http://daet99.d1.f1.enterprise/hpwd/mysql-refman-5.0-en.a4.pdf";>Mysql Reference Manual (12Mb)</a> <br> <a href="http://daet99.d1.f1.enterprise/hpwd/CSS-2.0.pdf";>CSS Reference Card (64K)</a> <br> <a href="http://daet99.d1.f1.enterprise/hpwd/Yes-CloseToTheEdge.mp3";>Close to the Edge (Yes)</a> <hr> And I install the page so its may be use with URL http://daet6.d1.f1.enterprise/... Now when I click on the links, using the new page: With MS Internet Explorer: Everythings OK With Mozilla Firefox: OK for small PDF file and large mp3 file, but with large PDF file, I received (after a while) the following popup message: Acrobat Reader A file I/O error occurred. The file connection timed out. If I change the setup for pdf handling in firefox, to use acrobat reader program rather than acrobat plug-in, if works fine. So it seems that the problem is within Acrobat Reader plug-in on Firefox, even if its after including httpd directives, but: If I try to save the files using right click and save target link as it works fine on Firefox but it failed on IE, for all three files, with a popup message: Internet Explorer cannot download Internet Explorer was not able to open the Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later. I made another test where I change role between daet99 and daet6 (daet6 is HP/UX 11.11 with httpd server 2.0.55), with same results. I also made a test with httpd server 2.2.4 (fedora 7). Same result. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
