| 804180 | 2009-08-26 11:28:00 | Well this is strange. With Chrome, internally the image just downloads. With IE, internally and from one Terminal Server the image is automatically opened with Paint. If I browse to a .bmp on a geocities hosted website, with Chrome the image displays in the browser. With Firefox, from another machine internally, the image displays in the browser. I don't really get this. What's going on :badpc: |

| 804181 | 2009-08-26 11:32:00 | What happens if you change the server mimetype to image/bmp (this is the technically correct one) - does it fix the issue? | Erayd (23) | ||
| 804182 | 2009-08-26 11:50:00 | Ok, I changed the mime type in /etc/mime.types to image/bmp and restarted apache. Everything still looks the same from this end. Do you mind doing another GET request as before just to see if the Content-Type changes. Sorry, I'm not sure how to do this. Thanks, Gregor |

| 804183 | 2009-08-26 13:57:00 | Content-type header has changed to image/bmp, the image still loads fine.

| 804184 | 2009-08-26 14:00:00 | Just another thought - does it only happen with a large file, or do small (<200KB) files have the same issue? The file you're testing with is 1.9MB, which might be causing the browser to decide to download it instead. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 804185 | 2009-08-26 21:47:00 | Cool, thanks for that . At least now I know that is the correct mime types file . --- This morning I did as you suggested and put up a small and large BMP file but both loaded fine . I'm guessing there would have been something in cache last night with the browsers I was testing with and the issue was solved by changing the mime type to image/bmp, does that make sense? Also, how did you get that HTTP request? I'd like to know for future testing . Thanks, Gregor |

| 804186 | 2009-08-26 22:24:00 | Also, how did you get that HTTP request? I'd like to know for future testing. As I explained in my PM to you, I used Opera Dragonfly to grab the headers - although there are also several other possible ways of doing it. |
