Why TIFF file doesnt openup in IE with its associated applicatin in WebTop?

Why TIFF file doesn't open up in IE with its associated application in WebTop? Sometimes file doesn't show the .tiff extension on clicking view in WebTop and instead it shows the save dialogbox and here is the likely solution although you have tiff and windows image viewer associated with this file type to view it.



I have done a little bit of research and found out how windows IE detects file extension and associate it with the application to open it.

How IE detects file extension and opens the corresponding application to open it.

Determining File Name Extensions

Internet Explorer sets the file name extension of a downloaded file based on a few pieces of information available from the HTTP server and from the file itself. Internet Explorer confirms or resets the file name extension of a downloaded file to ensure that if the file is executed, Windows launches the proper application to handle it.

Internet Explorer first consults the Content-Type and Content-Disposition headers for the MIME type from the HTTP server, if they exist. Next, Internet Explorer consults the registry entry for that MIME type underHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type and looks at the Extension key for the correct file name extension. Internet Explorer then ensures that the file has that extension, before placing it in the local browser cache.

If Internet Explorer knows the Content-Type specified and there is no Content-Disposition data, Internet Explorer performs a "MIME sniff," scanning the first 200 bytes of the file to determine if the file structure matches any known MIME types. For more information on MIME sniffing, see MIME Type Detection in Internet Explorer. If the MIME sniff detects a MIME type known to Internet Explorer, and the file has not been loaded by a mimefilter already, Internet Explorer sets that file name extension before placing the file in the local browser cache.

Lastly, if there is no Content-Type or Content-Disposition data, and the MIME sniff does not recognize a known MIME type, the file name extension is set to the same extension as the URL used to download the file.

If the file is marked as "content-disposition=attachment" in the HTTP header, Internet Explorer treats the file name from the URL as final and does not rename it before placing it in the cache.

Executing a Downloaded File

In Windows XP SP2 and later, after downloading a file, Internet Explorer consults the registry to find out which ProgID and CLSID is associated with the MIME type of the file. The browser then finds the ProgID and CLSID associated with the file name extension. If these ProgIDs do not match, and the CLSIDs do not match, Internet Explorer prompts the user before executing the file, as a safety precaution. Internet Explorer launches only the program associated with the MIME type of the downloaded file and not the program associated with the file name extension (if they are different programs). In Windows XP SP2 and later, if the MIME handler rejects the file, and the MIME handler and shell extension handler don't match, Internet Explorer shows an error dialog. Prior to Windows XP SP2, Internet Explorer opened the file using the shell extension handler if the MIME handler rejected the file.

If the MIME handler rejects the file with an error code of INET_E_CANNOT_LOAD_DATA, then Internet Explorer does not load the shell extension handler even if the ProgIDs or CLSIDs match. This is an extra security measure designed to prevent the shell extension handler from executing corrupt files.

If the file is marked as "content-disposition=attachment" in the HTTP header, Internet Explorer does not look at the MIME handler, shows a file download prompt, and, if instructed to run the attachment, it executes the file.

Updating your MIME Handler for Windows XP SP2 and Later

If you have developed a MIME handler that relies on Internet Explorer to load rejected files using the shell extension handler, there are a few changes you can make:

1. Update your MIME handler to handle the file directly rather than reject it.

2. Register a MIME handler and a shell extension handler with the same PROGID. Internet Explorer uses the shell extension handler automatically if its PROGID matches the MIME handler.

3. Tell Internet Explorer to skip the MIME handler in the case of a mismatch. If the MIME handler has thePreferExecuteOnMismatch key set to '1' in the registry, Internet Explorer does not use the MIME handler if the ProgID and CLSID of the shell extension handler does not match the MIME handler. Instead, Internet Explorer uses only the shell extension handler. The PreferExecuteOnMismatch key is a DWORD key placed under the ProgID of the MIME handler, for example:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
PROG_ID_OF_MIMEHANDLER_TO_IGNORE
PreferExecuteOnMismatch = DWORD:00000001

4. Register your MIME handler as a secure MIME handler. A secure MIME handler is constructed to securely process any file that is delegated to it. For example, a secure MIME handler should never allow an attacker to gain more privilege than allowed by the zone of the original file. Developers of a MIME handler should use threat modeling and code review to ensure secure failure modes and ensure that the handler is not vulnerable to buffer overruns. When a MIME handler is determined to be safe, it can be registered as safe by adding a registry key named after the ProgID of the MIME handler to the following locations:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Software
Microsoft
Windows
CurrentVersion
InternetSettings
Secure Mime Handlers

HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Software
Microsoft
Windows
CurrentVersion
InternetSettings
Secure Mime Handlers

The new key should have a value of DWORD=00000001.

How to configure TOAD with Oracle DB ?

0

Category: ,

Here is the steps to do it.

1) Install the oracle instant client. Unzip the files to a directory, and then copy the path of this directory to the clipboard.

2) Add this directory to the PATH environmental variable.

  • To do this, right click on My Computer,
  • Go to the Advanced tab,
  • Click 'Environment Variables'.
  • Under System variables, find 'Path'.
  • Select it, and click edit.
  • CTRL-V to paste the directory into the string,
  • OK.
  • Before: %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI Control Panel;
  • After: %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI Control Panel;C:\instantclient;

3) In the same window, under 'User variables for ...', Click the New button. Call the variable 'TNS_ADMIN'. ctrl-v to paste the directory path into the 'variable value' field. Say OK, and close out the 'My Computer' properties windows.

5) Create a file called 'TNSNAMES.ORA' in your instant client installation directory. In this file designate the connection parameters for your database.
Sample TNSNAMES.ORA

CODE
DB_SYSTEM=
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ipaddress)(PORT =
1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = orcl)
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
)
)
5) Reset your computer, start Toad, and a new connection. You should see DB_SYSTEM as an option under the database field. Set your username and password, click on connect

Toad is nice tool but i don't like this dependency of Oracle Thin client but I think that is copyright matter with Oracle but it would be nice to see Toad come with Oracle client embedded as one click install .

Happy Querying. :-)
