RDM - Chrome "EOWebBrowser" session no longer downloads files
RDM - Chrome "EOWebBrowser" session no longer downloads files
Hi,
I'm on RDM Enterprise 2020.3.23.0 x64 on Win10-1903. Since this "latest" update I've installed a new bug occurs. The feature where RDM displays the "download options assistant dialog" when a chrome web session has something to download triggered by the website appears properly and then - from all of a sudden - it does no longer appear. I could not find a fix for that, tried reboot of the computer, RDM restarts, creating a new chrome session entry --> no luck, problem persists.
I've found a workaround finally and that's why I guess RDM has a bug here that was not present in earlier releases. When I delete "%LocalAppData%\Devolutions\RemoteDesktopManager\EO.WebBrowser.Cache" completely while RDM is closed, the problem is fixed for an "undefined" amount of time until the issue comes up again. I opened RDM after purging the cache folder, clicked my chrome session, let it start a download and the dialog appeared just as expected.
Thanks for your help on fixing this.
Kind regards

Hello,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
We will do some tests to try to replicate the issue on our side to find its cause. We will let you know when development is made on this case!

Hello,
I tried to replicate the issue but I'm unable to get the same behavior as you so far. Just to narrow down my tests a bit, could you please provide me the link to a public website where the download eventually breaks for you?
Best regards,

Hi,
it's, for example, on the web admin interface of our Sophos UTM firewall. Unfortunately, I cannot grant you a login there. But you can download Sophos UTM Home Free at sophos' site, they'll email you a free license or you'll have 30 day trial and then just go to "Administration" / "Backups", click "perform backup" and then download the backup that was created and shown above that button. First time, it works, second time, too. About five more attempts -> permamently failing.

Thank you.
