[SOLVED] corrupt file downloads

wolfcry911 · 2011-04-09 15:11:51

Hello, this may not be related to Textpattern, but I’m hoping someone here can help me out.

I’ve started adding files (mostly pdfs) to my (still local / testing) site for user download. The downloads of those files seem to be corrupt. The uploads appear to be okay (when I open the files directly from the file subfolder in my site folder), but the download has issues. The file appears to download okay, but when viewing the file, it’s a mess.

I’ve looked at the files in a text editor and they do differ in different locations throughout the file (and the differences change with new downloads). Can anyone shed some light on what may be happening? Is this a Textpattern/php issue, a server issue, or user (me) issue? Oh, and it doesn’t matter if I create the PDFs or they’re from a third party source.

Thanks

Hi Christopher

What txp version are you using?

There was a similar problem in 4.2 which was fixed here

wolfcry911 · 2011-04-09 15:32:44

Textpattern version: 4.4.0 (r3514)

I’m reading the thread now…

Christopher, can you post your high diagnostics (Admin/Diagnostics > High) and what browser are you using? Might also help if you linked to one of the downloads.

Robert’s reply, that you linked, isn’t related to the downloads issue Christopher is having. It’s reply to the short-lived problem about the default pane and update procedure.

oops you are right. I thought that I saw a fix for the download issue too.

If that’s the actual download link that isn’t working, then that’s strange. The download works just fine for me. Everything is transferred correctly, file has no oddities and displays fine on Mac OS’s Preview. Also headers show up fine; no extra identifications of extra compression or anything.

are you sure its okay? On my most recent download, the second page is missing a bunch of info (there’s a 2 inch high block about an inch down from the top missing, for example). Other pdfs have additional artifacts as well as missing characters, etc..

Oh yes, you are right. I do see cap between Section A and B on page 2, and extra characters at the bottom of page 2, but I don’t see any missing characters or anything in that PDF, I believe.

You could try to disable jmd_html. It’s the only plugin of your Textpattern plugins that could effect downloads, as it directly modifies output buffer, no matter what the content is. If you are using any of the compression modules (mod_deflate), try to disable those.
