Hi everyone! We are running an on-prem, multi-machine Enterprise deployment sitting at version 11.3.

 

Previously in Enterprise 11.1, a user would have the ability to add a PDF as an item to their portal content. Then, by accessing this item via the portal/sharing/rest API, one would be able to view said item in the browser without having to download the item. The URL format was as follows: https://portal.domain/portal/sharing/rest/content/items/itemid/data 

With the recent upgrade, we are no longer able to view PDFs in this manner. Additionally of note, the overview of the item details page shows "Download" | "Update Data" | "Share" versus the 11.1 version of "Open" | "Update" | "Share". 

Calling "/data" at the end of the item's sharing/rest location immediately initiates a download of the item. This presents a problem for all previously built ExB applications that had PDFs referenced in them as viewable content. 

If anyone has seen/heard of this before, please let me know if you have found a fix!!!

@JustinMallinckrodt , thank you for the info.  I did up to Step 3, I couldn't find the BUG-000169460, it seems like it only list the BUGs submitted by my organization.
