Error 500 when downloading PDF

[rmahoney]

Apologies if this issue is posted elsewhere - could not find after searching.

Using Alfresco 6.0.c in a dockerized deployment.

When I try to download a PDF using the "Download Original" pull-down, I get a 500 error. Opening the document works correctly when I select "View in Browser".

The URL that generates the 500 error is of the format

http://host:8081/share/proxy/alfresco/slingshot/node/workspace/SpacesStore/.../content/filename.pdf?... 

If I remove the &a=true tag, the URL works properly.

What is the role of the &a=true tag? Is there a configuration change to make to avoid this error?

Thanks,

Bob

This looks like a bug. I've confirmed the same behavior on my machine running 6.0.c dockerized.

Have you searched https://issues.alfresco.com to see if someone has already reported it?

If you don't find an existing issue, please go ahead and create one. You will need to include the full stack trace from your alfresco log.
