One of the web application that we use opens fine in Internet explorer. But not on Chrome.
I have looked through the content of page and it has meta
tag with content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"
.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>COMPASS</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
<frameset rows="160,*" cols="*" framespacing="0" frameborder="NO" border="0">
<frame src="banner/banner.htm" name="topFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize >
<frame src="home.htm" name="mainFrame">
</frameset>
<noframes><body>
<a href="default.htm">default</a>
<a href="banner/banner.htm">banner</a>
</body></noframes>
</html>
So I looked through the HTTP headers, and it contains content-type as application/octet-stream
. Full header list is shown below.
Accept-Ranges →bytes
Content-Length →613
Content-Location →http://myURL/Default.htm
Content-Type →application/octet-stream
Date →Wed, 04 May 2016 12:21:01 GMT
ETag →"1000558dca1:f35"
Last-Modified →Mon, 04 Jan 2010 15:45:54 GMT
MicrosoftOfficeWebServer →5.0_Pub
Server →Microsoft-IIS/6.0
X-Powered-By →ASP.NET
Now that being said, What should I do in my browser in order to view this page on Chrome?
NOTE: I do not have access to make changes to the server or the webapps hosted on it.
The server is sending back Content-Type →application/octet-stream
in the response header. This mime type is used to send an unknown binary. It looks like the server is not set up to send the correct response header.
If you would like to modify the behaviour of your browser, so that you can view the response in the browser window instead, you could try this extension: Modify Content-Type.
