4.2.3 getting save/run dialog from "Client Data" link in IE only.
list Xymon User in Richmond
4.3 has been backburnered here for a while, so still on 4.2.3. Just found that IE (7) gives me the "Do you want to run or save" popup for "Client Data", i.e. bb-hostsvc.sh. It works fine in Firefox, and all of the other cgi-bin stuff works fine in both. bb-hostsvc.sh is 755 like all the other scripts. Was this a known issue? Patched? It's become an issue because when I'm roaming offsite, I have to use a "jump" box to get to the Xymon server, and I can't install Firefox on the jump box.

Blame IE, I'm afraid - it should look at the content-type returned before asking what to do with the data. It works here (4.3.6 + IE 8), but I don't have a 4.2.x system to test it with. Regards, Henrik

Thanks. I guess MS is trying to make up for the older versions of IE that fixed broken pages by having later versions break correct ones. I mapped my Portable Xming onto a jump box, can ssh out and run FFox on the Xymon server.
