Description
Hello,
I found an issue which is not nice for Jenkins users. When we try to download a chm file which is published during project build; it comes on windows with no extension.
Configuration is the following :
File path is correct and file exist on server side.
Maybe this is because file is kinda blocked ?
This is a behavior rather for Windows and browser implementations.
"Index file" is a common feature for web servers.
Index files work as shortcuts on web servers. For example, https://www.jenkins.io/ is a shortcut for https://www.jenkins.io/index.html .
Browsers don't know the actual file names ("index.html" as above) and it depends on browsers how the file name is decided. (and browsers look add no extensions to chm files)
Generally speaking, it's not an expected usage for chm files to use as index files.
It's better to create a simple index html file to pointing the chm file like:
echo '<html><body><a href="dbspec.chm">Open dbspec.chm</a></body></html>' >Source/Documentation/Output/index.html
