Can’t download (local) file.

  • Hello, awesome plugin!

    But it has a weird issue that you might like to be aware of.

    Browsers come in all shapes sizes and forms, and the one I use is called Slimjet, (which is a Chrome – clone.) Version Version 30.0.1.0 (based on Chromium 88.0.4324.150) (Official Build) (32-bit) — for your refence.

    I’m also using Flywheel as my local development environment.

    Now, using the Slimjet Browser to simply download the backup file, then this message below gets spat out, (that was also hard to copy I might mention: hence it’s been wrapped inside a code tag.

    Slimjet Browser, (says)

Can't download this file!
HTTP/1.1 500\server:nginx/1.16.0\date:Thu, 22 Apr 2021 13:39:25 GMT\content-type:text/html; charset=UTF-8\x-powered-by:PHP/7.4.1\expires:Wed, 11 Jan 1984 05:00:00 GMT\cache-control:no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0\\

    I’ve honestly no idea why the message references the 11th Jan 1984 as it does.

    Here’s the rub, locally: the Plugin works fine in FireFox, and even downloads the backup file no worries, but neither Browsers would email me the backup file from my local environment, and I’ve set the PHP mailer file size to 2G.

    Due-diligences then got me installing the Plugin on my (live-site), whereby Slimjet continued to refuse the file download, with that weird message stated above, and as before: FireFox did it all without a hitch.

    FireFox also emailed me my (live-sites) database, but the [Chrome Clone] once again refused to play ball with the emailing function.

    It’s probably a Chrome issue we’re dealing with here, but it might also be something to be like to be aware of at your end.

    Conclusion: as long as you’re using FireFox, then there isn’t an issue.

    No response is required, and many thanks for all your fine work.

    Jessica.
