Duplicate headers received from server

Duplicate headers received from server

The response from the server contained duplicate headers. This problem is generally the result of a misconfigured website or proxy. Only the website or proxy administrator can fix this issue.

Error 349 (net::ERR_RESPONSE_HEADERS_MULTIPLE_CONTENT_DISPOSITION): Multiple distinct Content-Disposition headers received. This is disallowed to protect against HTTP response splitting attacks.

I found this error while exporting to pdf in chrome.

Response.Buffer = false;
Response.ClearHeaders();
string ext = objProp.PACKAGEFILENAME.Substring(objProp.PACKAGEFILENAME.LastIndexOf("."));
string ext1 = ext.Substring(1);
Response.ContentType = ext1;
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "target;_blank,attachment; filename=" + objProp.PACKAGEFILENAME);
const int ChunkSize = 1024;
byte[] binary = objProp.PACKAGEDOCUMENT;
System.IO.MemoryStream ms = new System.IO.MemoryStream(binary);
int SizeToWrite = ChunkSize;

for (int i = 0; i < binary.GetUpperBound(0) - 1; i = i + ChunkSize)
{
    if (!Response.IsClientConnected) return;
    if (i + ChunkSize >= binary.Length) SizeToWrite = binary.Length - i;
    byte[] chunk = new byte[SizeToWrite];
    ms.Read(chunk, 0, SizeToWrite);
    Response.BinaryWrite(chunk);
    Response.Flush();
}
Response.Close();

How to fix this?

I've got this same error (ERR_RESPONSE_HEADERS_MULTIPLE_CONTENT_DISPOSITION) downloading from EDGE a dynamic filename named

"a,b,c test.zip"

The problem was the comma.

Strangely, using the old "internet explorer", the comma was not a problem and the same file was downloaded (same procedure same file). Using other browser the error occured.

WORKAROUND: normalize filename (by code) replacing any comma into underscore, if evolved browsers are used.

Double quotes around the filename in the header is the standard per MDN web docs. Omitting the quotes creates multiple opportunities for problems arising from characters in the filename.

For me the issue was about a comma not in the filename but as below: -

Response.ok(streamingOutput,MediaType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM_TYPE).header("content-disposition", "attachment, filename=your_file_name").build();

I accidentally put a comma after attachment. Got it resolved by replacing comma with a semicolon.

Just put a pair of double quotes around your file name like this:

this.Response.AddHeader("Content-disposition", $"attachment; filename=\"{outputFileName}\"");

The server SHOULD put double quotes around the filename, as mentioned by @cusman and @Touko in their replies.

For example:

Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=\"" + filename + "\"");

This ones a little old but was high in the google ranking so I thought I would throw in the answer I found from Chrome, pdf display, Duplicate headers received from the server

Basically my problem also was that the filename contained commas. Do a replace on commas to remove them and you should be fine. My function to make a valid filename is below.

    public static string MakeValidFileName(string name)
    {
        string invalidChars = Regex.Escape(new string(System.IO.Path.GetInvalidFileNameChars()));
        string invalidReStr = string.Format(@"[{0}]+", invalidChars);
        string replace = Regex.Replace(name, invalidReStr, "_").Replace(";", "").Replace(",", "");
        return replace;
    }
