Issue with RadCompression

[Brandon]

Hi Everyone,

Version of Telerik.Web.Ui DLL (2010.3.1109.35)
I have an issue where RadCompression is somehow related.  When viewing a PDF File (Generated by Reporting Services) it comes back with "File does not begin with %PDF-".  When I disable RadCompression in the Web.Config it works.
So then I attempted to exclude the pages that call the Reporting Services like this

<telerik.web.ui>
    <radCompression>
      <excludeHandlers>
        <add handlerPath="LaunchLink.aspx" matchExact="false"/>
        <add handlerPath="LaunchExternalSite.aspx" matchExact="false/>
      </excludeHandlers>
    </radCompression>
  </telerik.web.ui>

It does not seem to be making any difference.

Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Bran

Hi Bran,

Could you elaborate what reporting service are you using? You can try to disable RadCompression for the specific page by adding the following attribute to its class:

[RadCompressionSettings(HttpCompression = CompressionType.None)]

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks for the response.

I have some further information.

RadCompression On
===============
Works in IE8
Works in Chrome
PDF Error in Firefox

RadCompression Off
===============
Works in all three

I tried the code you suggested and it had no affect.

Resolved.  Does not quite make sense but I am happy it is all working now

Solution:  Have both the exclusions in web.config and the "[RadCompressionSettings(HttpCompression = CompressionType.None)]" for the classes

Thanks for your help
