Attachments with non-ASCII content are retrieved incorrectly in Bugzilla?

+2 votes
197 views

I recently upgraded my Bugzilla from 4.4.x to 5.0.1. I am now noticing that non-ASCII attachments -- even ones created years ago -- do not download correctly in any browser. For example, Microsoft Word attachments (MIME type "application/msword") are corrupted and don't display properly if at all. The same thing happens with binary file attachments (MIME type "application/octet-stream") and Excel files.

These are all relatively small files (under 200KB) that are stored in the MySQL attachment table. By retrieving one of the BLOBs directly, I verified that the content in the database is _not_ corrupted.

What seems to be happening is that all of these binary attachments are being converted to UTF-8 unconditionally. For example, a byte 0x82 in the original file is being converted to the 2-byte sequence 0xC2,0x82 in the downloaded version.

My server is Apache 2.2.22 running under Debian 7.9.

Any ideas how to fix this behavior?

How to install bugzilla with https access?

I can not find a resolution on bugzilla's doc about how to install bugzilla with https. By default, the bugzilla installation will be access with http://, not https://

If I want to access use https://, is there any package or software additional should be installed first? Or I can just configure on Bugzilla's parameter: SSL_Redirect and sslbase, and no need to change with bugzilla installation?

Bugzilla login required after each action with firefox

Sometimes it happens that with firefox after each page change during creation of a new bug new login is required. So the page with login information is shown (not the login at the header line)

With IE or Chrome at the same time this does not happen. Does anyone know how the firefox can used without the repeating login?

Installation of Bugzilla and connecting it with LDAP

I have installed Bugzilla 4.4 on Apache. I have configured it for LDAP authentication. I have some users on LDAP and I wish to allow all of them to be able to file a bug on Bugzilla.

However, it appears that I still need to create all these users in bugzilla. Instead of creating 100 users one by one - is there a way I could insert records in some table OR any configuration by which the user is automatically created?

What is the best way to configure in this case?
