ignoring content-Disposition : attachment

[webersinke]

Hi,

can some explain why Vivaldi is ignoring the following html response ?

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Cache-Control: private,public
Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel
Server: Microsoft-IIS/10.0
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="test.xml"
X-AspNet-Version: 4.0.30319
Persistent-Auth: true
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2024 10:56:50 GMT
Content-Length: 5257
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><?mso-application progid='Excel.Sheet'?><Workbook.............
...........</Workbook>

in Edge or Firefox an automatic download is startet, but in Vivaldi nothing is happening. Just a empty new page is showing.

What do i miss here ?

@webersinke IS this a SSL connection or not?

[webersinke]

the response is coming from a web based erp system, where i have to login, but no https

@webersinke Download from non-SSL connections is blocked by Chromium core, Vivaldi inherited this.
If this is a link, you an try to use context menu → Save Link as… and you may get the download.
If not you need to use an other browser for the download.

And as i know, there is a known bug in Vivaldi which caused not showing such blocks in adressbar or download panel, all resulting in not getting files downloaded. Work is in progress for a Vivaldi fix.

Thanks for the info. Is there any setting to disable the blocking ?

[DoctorG]

@webersinke Try this (i can not test on your side):

• Open in address field chrome://flags/#unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure
• Set button at right to Enabled
• in textarea add as comma separated list http://12.34.56.78 (change to IP your server has) and http://your.serverdomain.tld (change to hostname/domain of your server)
• Close settings
• Restart

Perhaps a workaround for you.

[webersinke]

it's working. Thanks again !

@webersinke Nice to read about my working solution.
Now you know what you can do if on sites where Vivaldi is not downloading.

@DoctorG Thanks, it fixed my problem, same about excel files not being downloaded.![alt text] it was working in firefox/edge, but not in Vivaldi since my PC updated from Win 10 to Win 11 automatically. Greetings.
