Reproduction of Ticket #959, IE stuck while trying upload images

[g_sasha]

version 2.4.1 Build 14797

suddenly the image upload stop working in IE-6, but still working in Firefox. After couple of hours i found the Ticket #959 and the proposed solution worked. Scenario:

1) open file browser 2) try uploading image file result: the image not uploaded and it stuck with the wait message

If it was solved in newer version, sorry for opening new ticket

As it was asked previously:

Could you please give more info to reproduce the problem?
(and yes, you should try the latest version)

Hi tried the latest version (demo), same thing

I think it's somehow connected to the Windows security updates I tried other computer without Service packs and it's working IE version: 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr....

P.S. i opened another ticket with same problem, cant find him...if you do delete it

New info:

And again it is fine with Firefox

I have the same problem with the same version of IE6 but with FCK 2.5

When I try to upload an image with FF2 it always works but with IE6 most of the time it stuck.

Scenario:
Click on the "image" icon in the toolbar.
Click on the button "Browse Server"
Click on "Browse" and select an image on your disk.
Click on "Upload"

• The text "(Upload in progress, please wait...)" is displayed
  
• The button "upload" is greyed out and stays grey.
  

But no file uploaded, no error message (neither on screen nor in Apache logs).

But sometime (10%) this scenario works with IE6 (Always with FF2)

My two cents it’s a JavaScript problem (lost of messages ...)

Last point: My site uses SSL (https). When I click on "Browse Server" IE6 says "the page contains both secure and nonsecure items". No message when I use FF2.

-- Hope that help

I found a solution for both problems:

1) I added to the configuration of Apache this line

SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown

More info here about POST with IE over SSL here:

​http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-dev/200511.mbox/%3C20051122135629.03A2882D02@cmcodec02.st1.spray.net%3E

And now IE6 never stuck while uploading file.

2) IE thinks an empty frame is in unsecured zone.
So, at the end of the file editor/filemanager/browser/default/browser.html, I replaced src="javascript:void(0)" by src="frmempty.html" and I created an empty html page named frmempty.html in the same directory as browser.html

I dont like the " added to the configuration of Apache" solution it is simple POST and should work without web-server modifications

[goldax]

Ah...by the way i have same problem using HTTP (without ssl )

[goldax]

hmm..checked again, and it do working without SSL when using direct uploading, but gives XML error when trying to use server browser (return empty XML) Firefox works great

[Wojciech Olchawa]

Confirmed. The bug occurs in IE6. Everything works fine with IE7 and FF2.

FCKeditor was retired and is no longer supported. All active development was moved to its successor, ​CKEditor 3.x, that is a fully mature and far superior product. We recommend you upgrade as soon as possible since this issue is no longer a problem in current code base.
