DownloadManager when link is clicked from Flash

[michale]

I've posted this question in CefSharp group https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/cefsharp/5P6qeudv3zw
They suggested me to open this issue here

When implementing download support with
browser.DownloadHandler = new DownloadHandler();

It works GREAT with downloading stuff directly from html page, but when the link is inside Flash it opens the option to save but also opens a blank popup window

You can see it when running CefSharp.MinimalExample

Goto http://demo.northkingdom.com/gotmilk/planetinneed/
skip into
click on 'Download xxx...' button


Please Advise
Thanks!

Can someone relate to this issue?

What CEF version? NPAPI or PPAPI Flash plugin?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply!!!

Here are the details:
chrome://version
CEF 3.2062.1898
Chromium 37.0.2062.94

right click on Flash when running in CEF
Flash You have version 17,0,0,169 installed

As I mentioned I used the CefSharp.MinimalExample with this additional code

Code: Select all

...
            browser.DownloadHandler = new DownloadHandler();
...

        public class DownloadHandler : IDownloadHandler
        {
            public bool OnBeforeDownload(DownloadItem downloadItem, out string downloadPath, out bool showDialog)
            {
                downloadPath = downloadItem.SuggestedFileName;
                showDialog = true;

                return true;
            }

            public bool OnDownloadUpdated(DownloadItem downloadItem)
            {
                return false;
            }
        }

You're probably using the NPAPI version of Flash which manages downloads itself. The PPAPI version of Flash, which can be used with 2357 branch and newer, should trigger the download handler.

It does trigger the DownloadManager
The only thing that need to be fixed is the fact that a blank popup window is left open after clicking the download link from Flash
