Live bookmarks not supported on Custom Query pages

[leif.s@…]

On most pages Trac supports RSS feeds the way Mozilla Firefox wants them, but it seems this has been forgotten on the Custom Query page.

Replying to leif.s@hem.utfors.se: This also seems to happen on the "ticket view" page…

I've tested both on Firefox 2 and they are working correctly.

I get the same problem. Firefox 3 on both Linux and Mac only offers to download the xml file (query.xml) instead of showing the feed under the custom query page. I also note that it doesn't work for this tickets rss feed.

The RSS for the available reports works as desired as does the timeline.

Tested against 0.11 and this site

You're right. Custom Query and Ticket feeds doesn't work like the others. I'll put it on my to-do.

[osimons]

These two feeds do not work as the others as they use mimeview.api.Mimeview.send_converted() to convert and send the feed data. That method does one thing we don't want for feeds: It adds a Content-Disposition header with a constructed filename - forcing Firefox (and possibly other browsers) to see it as a download.

I've made a patch for this behaviour that if passed filename is empty, it does not add this particular header as there is no filename to add - and default filename is 'file' so it should not be empty unless explicitly requested. I don't quite see what far-reaching consequences this may have, but all other downloads seems to work as they should and all tests pass.

Patch follows.

[osimons]

Patch to make ticket + custom query feeds work in Firefox (not download).

[Christian Boos]

Tested, works fine.

A detail: maybe using filename=None would be more indicative than filename='' that we don't want to pass a Content-Disposition header?

[osimons]

Thanks for testing and feedback. Committed with filename=None to 0.11-stable in [7598].

But see #7956, we now use None for all alternate formats…
