PDF files download through content/download not working

Wednesday 01 December 2010 6:25:03 am

Take a look in kernel/content/download.php, might be that the content range support added in 4.4 is causing issues.

Some further information: it doesn't matter if the PDF file is large or small, the last portion of the file is seemingly cut off. Javascript has been added to the beginning of the file (setting cookies), don't know if this is the problem. So, no solution found yet, any help would be greatly appreciated as visitors are now unable to view PDF files posted to the website.

TIA,

I have no idea. I think it's something that EZPublish does, as it only shows up when I'm looking at a file downloaded through the EZPublish interface. Below is the Javascript code that has been added:

<Script language='JavaScript'>
<!--

function Get_Cookie(name) { 
   var start = document.cookie.indexOf(name+"="); 
   var len = start+name.length+1; 
   if ((!start) && (name != document.cookie.substring(0,name.length))) return null; 
   if (start == -1) return null; 
   var end = document.cookie.indexOf(";",len); 
   if (end == -1) end = document.cookie.length; 
   return unescape(document.cookie.substring(len,end)); 
} 

function Set_Cookie(name,value,expires,path,domain,secure) { 
    var cookieString = name + "=" +escape(value) + 
       ( (expires) ? ";expires=" + expires.toGMTString() : "") + 
       ( (path) ? ";path=" + path : "") + 
       ( (domain) ? ";domain=" + domain : "") + 
       ( (secure) ? ";secure" : ""); 
    document.cookie = cookieString; 
} 

function Delete_Cookie(name,path,domain) { 
   if (Get_Cookie(name)) document.cookie = name + "=" + 
      ( (path) ? ";path=" + path : "") + 
      ( (domain) ? ";domain=" + domain : "") + 
      ";expires=Thu, 01-Jan-70 00:00:01 GMT"; 
} 

var today = new Date(); 
var zero_date = new Date(0,0,0); 
today.setTime(today.getTime() - zero_date.getTime()); 
var cookie_expire_date = new Date(today.getTime() + (8 * 7 * 86400000)); 

function setVisitorID() { 
   if (Get_Cookie('VisitorID')) { 
       var VisitorID = Get_Cookie('VisitorID'); 
   }else{ 
       Set_Cookie('VisitorID',Math.random(),cookie_expire_date); 
   } 
} 

function setSessionID() { 
   if (!Get_Cookie('SessionID')) 
       Set_Cookie('SessionID',Math.random()); 
} 

var loaded_script = true; 

-->
</Script>

<script language="jscript">
  setVisitorID();
</script>

Thanks Gaetano, I've taken it up with the hosting provider and they indeed placed the JavaScript at the start of every requested page/file. Once they removed it, the downloading of PDF files once again worked as it should.
