Download openvpn RoadWarrior config not possible in Cockpit with Firefox

[flatspin (Ralf Jeckel)]

Hi friends,
I tried to download a vpn-road-warrior config with firefox like I’d used to do in Neth-GUI, but that doesn’t work.
With Opera and Chrome it works.

Seems that Firefox gets more and more incompatible with cockpit.
Can anybody tell me why this happens?
Cockpit upstream desgn?

Cheers
Ralf

Firefox uses Gecko, Opera and Chrome currently are using Blink.

Hi, Ralf. Can you give more details (OS, Firefox version, any error message, screenshot…)?

[flatspin (Ralf Jeckel)]

Sorry for late response.
OS ist Win 10 1909
FF is Ver 71.0 / 64 bit
Opera is Ver 65.0.3467.62
Chrome is Ver 79.0.3945.79 / 64 bit

It’s not the expected .ovpn file as here:

PS: Sorry for german browser.

Confirmed. On Chrome the file has an extension and it is named after the user. On Firefox the downloaded file name seems random and without file extension.

I think it’s only a filename problem. I open on GitHub an improvement. I’m going to try to fix this.

[giacomo (Giacomo Sanchietti)]

This is just cosmetic and due to a bad implementation on FF: https://github.com/NethServer/dev/issues/5855

Thank you for the patch @federico.ballarini, we will review it.

We cannot fix download file on backup configuration, but I fixed vpn config download (more used than backup config download ).
@giacomo and @davidep will put the fix to testing on Monday.
Please @flatspin and @dnutan feel free to test it and report here if it works.

[dnutan (Marc)]

Tested and the fix works for VPN config.

[flatspin (Ralf Jeckel)]

Thanks @federico.ballarini . Will test it when back in office.

[flatspin (Ralf Jeckel)]

Tested and confirm that fix works. Vpn-config-file is corrctly named and downloaded.

Thanks again Federico!

Still broken for configuration backup. After some Firefox updates.
Sample here (with headache)

Download configuration into file without extension

Step to reproduce: Create a configuration Backup Download it to your computer – Optional - Drama section start – Delete your wrongly configured server about storage (better thin than thick…) Create another server and install nethserver Log in to it, try to upload the configuration Cannot find the configuration file Look deeper into your hard drive, file .tar.xz missing Scream Headbanging against brick wall (drywall option illegal) Feeling stupid More scream Consider as useless sysadmin Take t…

Similar bug raised from configuration backup (and download) on firefox.

Configuration backup download not working cockpit

This dude rised again! Steps to reproduce: access to cockpit create a new configuration backup (it will be classified as “snapshot” try to download the file with firefox, the file downloaded will hava a random name (mine is called odBJatrQ ) using another browser (in my case, edge-chromium) the name will be coherent with the paradigm (s00.tar.xz) (file comparison show no differencies)

did someone would like to have a go with openvpn roadwarriors config?
