Trying to download XLS from a popup doesn't work

[snapperdragon]

I noticed that when you try to download an XLS file from a popup, nothing happens.

Steps to reproduce:

• Run the following test (https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/ ... Frame.java)
• Go toTests >> Show DevTools >> Console
• Run the following script (this is a sample xls available online) - a popup gets created but nothing happens:
  

  Code: Select all

  window.open("http://coral.ie.lehigh.edu/~ted/files/eng5/misc/sample.xls",'name','height=200,width=150');

Note: With other formats, the popup seems to work. For example, run the following script (this is a sample pdf available online) - the pop gets created and renders the pdf successfully
window.open("http://www.cbu.edu.zm/downloads/pdf-sample.pdf",'name','height=200,width=150');

The details of the JCEF I am using is as follows:
JCEF Version = 3.2526.150
CEF Version = 3.2526.1366
Chromium Version = 47.0.2526.80

Any ideas how to fix this?

Have you tested with `3.2883.1539`? The version your using is old and no longer supported.

Tried the same steps with 3.2924.152 and still getting the same issue.

For reference, these are the JCEF details:
JCEF Version = 3.2924.152
CEF Version = 3.2924.1572
Chromium Version = 56.0.2924.76

Any pointers on how to fix this?

How does it behave with the cefclient "Sample Application" available from http://opensource.spotify.com/cefbuilds/index.html ?

[snapperdragon]

I downloaded a cefclient "Sample Application" available from http://opensource.spotify.com/cefbuilds/index.html (for the exact version i.e. 3.2924.1572) and ran the same steps as above and it was able to download the XLS file successfully.

As mentioned in the JCEF bicketbucket issues page (https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/ ... pup-doesnt), I put a breakpoint in the onBeforeDownload method in DownloadDialog.java method but it doesn't get triggered. Probably because the download is being attempted inside a popup?

Anyone else able to reproduce the same issue and if not, know what I am doing wrong?
