Main site trying to DL file to computer

For the last 2 days I have occasionally (not every time) had a window pop up and ask me where I want to save a file when I go to mmorpg.com.

 

Here is a picture

 

Any idea if this is some sort of virus/spyware or just an error in the code?

    I have had the same problem for the last two days.

    I hit cancel and then re-enter the address and everything works fine.

     

     

    *edit*

    It happened again. That makes it three times in two days.

     

    Anybody have a clue what is going on?

    Same here, and it only happens with Firefox. IE7 does not give me this issue.

    This is still happening.   The least mmorpg could do is acknowledge the issue.

    Firefox 2.0.0.9. You have to be off for some period of time, at least 10 minutes, I can't get it any more exact than that. Have firefox closed. Then open firefox and hit the mmorpg site. Then it asks if you want to save the file. Hit cancel, then hit refresh, and the site comes up fine. Close browser, reopen, hit site, and it's fine. Have to close browser, wait X time, then come back to site to see error.

    I checked the HTTP headers for both the error and refresh events and there are a few differences:

    (this is not-working vs working)

    Cache-Control: "post-check=0, pre-check=0" vs "max-age=0"

    Pragma: "no-cache" vs  nothing when working.

    Content-Type: "text/html" vs "text/html; charset=UTF-8"

    Vary: nothing vs "Accept-Encoding".

    I think Firefox had some issues with cache some time back... don't remember exactly. Might want to start checking there and on the http header differences...

    It happened to me again today...

     

    Has anybody been brave enough to download the file to see what it is?

    Hey guys :) This issue has been brought to our attention, and we're looking into it.  Can you please give us more information about what OS/web client you are using?

    Firefox 2009 on XP.

     

    Dowload request does not occur everytime, just a few times a day.

    When this occurs is there a url variable present that looks like: bchp=1?

    Windows XP

    Firefox 2.0.0.9

     

    The error didn't appear this morning when I came here, so not sure about that thing in the url thing, but I don't recall seeing that when it happens.

    I have also seen this. I use Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.9) Gecko/20071025 Firefox/2.0.0.9 on Windows XP with service pack 2. I only access the MMORPG.com site through my own bookmark to avoid URL spoofing issues.

    Let me know if it occurs again.  I believe it had to do with our cookie detection script and a new piece of software installed for the galleries.

    It just happened to me again.

    Windows XP, firefox 2.0.0.9. I also have it set to automatically log me in. I enter 'www.mmorpg.com in the address field and press enter, get the option to save the file index.cfm. There is not parameters. I went ahead and saved the file, and it looks like this (i've blanketed the numbers with the letter N, but will PM the file to you if you give me an email to send it to etc):

    vascript">

    </script>

    <script type="text/javascript">

    _uacct = "UA-838064-1";

    urchinTracker();

    </script>

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK

    Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0

    Connection: close

    Date: Sat, 24 Nov 2007 23:50:37 GMT

    Pragma: no-cache

    Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

    Expires: Sat, 6 May 1995 12:00:00 GMT

    Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0

    Set-Cookie: AUTOLOGIN=%NNN%NNN%NN%NN%NNN%NN%NNN%NN%NN%NN%NN%NNNN%NNN%NN%NNN%NNNNN%NNNN%NN%NN%0A;domain=.mmorpg.com;expires=Mon, 16-Nov-2037 23:50:37 GMT;path=/

    Set-Cookie: LASTCLIENTVISIT=%NNNN%NN%NNNNNN%NNNN%NNNN%NNNN%NNNN%NNNN%NN%NN;expires=Mon, 16-Nov-2037 23:50:37 GMT;path=/

    Content-Encoding: gzip

    Vary: Accept-Encoding

    Then a huge amount of binary data... I would assume it's an image. This is what I could see, copy, and paste from Wordpad.

     

  • MeddleMeddle Administrator UncommonPosts: 758

    The "binary" data you see is the gzip compressed page that for some reason FF isn't recognizing as gzip compressed data and in turn is attempting to download instead of decompressing it and displaying the page to you.

    If you could please send me the data plus the http headers you listed in your post to [email protected] I'll look into it further.
