I have a Dojo front-ended web application. Whenever I try to post a form with file attachment, a notification pops up saying “Verifying Application Requirements”, stays for a while and then times out with another notification indicating “Application download did not succeed……”. I noticed this behaviour on IE8. I could not come up with any satisfying answer on the web. Most of the answers seemed to indicate that this notification comes up for ClickOnce applications (whatever they are). Bwt, the OS is Windows 7.
Does anybody know a solution or the reason ?
RESOLVED!!! IE8 was sending the “Accept” header as application/x-ms-application and the response was also coming back with the same content-type and windows was considering the response as a MS application. It worked properly after I explicitly set the Content-Type to “text/html” in the response. Unfortunately, we cannot set the header in dojo.io.iframe.send params. Hope this solution helps somebody with similar issue.
