If I was a visitor and someone would try to force me something I would turn my face away and never return back. ]]> By: Marlon https://blog.phpbb.com/2008/10/25/attachment-headaches-with-the-internet-explorer/#comment-22020 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 05:45:05 +0000 http://www.phpbb.com/blog/?p=170#comment-22020 Internet Explorer 8 is really good. This browser is very very stable and i have been using it for quite a while without blue screens or crashes. ]]> By: Alex Stubbins https://blog.phpbb.com/2008/10/25/attachment-headaches-with-the-internet-explorer/#comment-6105 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 16:37:52 +0000 http://www.phpbb.com/blog/?p=170#comment-6105 You know what. You should not have to make websites work for 1 web browser. Web browsers are supposed to be made to work with website, and not the other way around. ]]> By: madd74 https://blog.phpbb.com/2008/10/25/attachment-headaches-with-the-internet-explorer/#comment-701 Mon, 19 Jan 2009 23:20:23 +0000 http://www.phpbb.com/blog/?p=170#comment-701 Not to mention, I am on a work computer. While FF gets installed to all 4+ of my home computers, my work computer is stuck in the crazy world of IE6.

So your attempt to ad “loads and loads” of ads for browser upgrades are not going to work. Also, what happens when I am on someone else’s computer?

So while all of you attempt to talk about how you would “force” people, in ultimate, what you are going to do is force some people away from your site, because you are not letting me look at that site on a dominate computer (in my case, my work computer, that can barely go places as it is with all the filters I run across).

There is a reason there are 8+ different browsers out there. It is the same reason that everyone isn’t forced to shop at Wal-Mart for all of their shopping, or everyone get gas at QT (or whatever is the norm for your area).

Just make a code that detects what browser that they are using and if its IE, loads of Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome advertisments would be displayed, all in Encrypted HTML Code to avoid content filters.
Companies and Schools should learn to use decent software, like Chrome or Firefox.
I know that this has very little to do with the subject, but Schools and Universities also always use Windows Server 2003, which means that they will be limited to use ASP aplications. ]]> By: Sam https://blog.phpbb.com/2008/10/25/attachment-headaches-with-the-internet-explorer/#comment-652 Tue, 30 Dec 2008 08:12:45 +0000 http://www.phpbb.com/blog/?p=170#comment-652 No one seems to have mentioned it yet, but this is considered a feature because of the many web servers/web apps which spit out incorrect MIME types for files. Worse, many are either unchangable (i.e. the web software is out of reach for the user, e.g. hosted stuff), or requires a code change.

It is no excuse, but it gave a better user experience, particularly back in the day when this occurred much more often than now.

The implementation is far from perfect though, and isn’t really needed nowadays anymore, especially with the proliferation of alternate browsers without this behaviour.

BTW, in IE8 files sent with an image MIME type will be rendered as an image, no matter what.

Ie8 improves matters a bit, but that doesn’t solve the issue of existing IE6 and IE7 installs.

The feasible ways are either very strict validation, i..e filtering out content that might get treated as HTML or – if it’s just images – to stick to harmless formats and/or sanitize them by using GD.

We are facing the exact same problem in our application and security testers are raising hell, despite our protests that it is an MS/IE issue, and not our coding issue.

Now my question is: Has Microsoft accepted anywhere that this is their problem and has a fix been provided? Would be glad of any help.

Thanks,
Ashok

The licensing on that would be absolutely crazy, though.

Now that is shocking and very VERY scary! I do not understand why Microsoft doesn’t take care of security holes like this. 🙁 ]]>
