I have found an issue when using the data export function in IE10. The file contains a bunch of html instead of the data.

Im running Umbraco v6.1.1 (Yes I know. Upgrade it now. And I will)
And contour v3.0.16

The file can be downloaded here:

Everything works perfectly in other browsers.

Yeah looks like that exported the actual page markup instead of the csv, will check how this can be fixed, thanks for reporting :)

That's weird. Here's a screencast of me replicating the error. I can do it every time:

Maybe that can help.

Also the solution is almost vanilla Umbraco. All the custom stuff I have is a couple of contour workflow plugins we made ourselves, and a umbraco base implementation with a few methods.

Just to say we've got this problem in IE10 with a client. It works fine in Chrome. It seems to occur when there is quite a lot of data to export.

Not just me then :) That's always nice to know.

I have not yet had time to test it on my local machine like Tim suggested.

Tim - yeah, I realise it's a pain trying to fix something you can't replicate. All I can really say is that the problem only manifests itself in IE when there are a lot of records to be exported. So in Contour if I export records for last "24 hours" in IE10 it works fine, but if I chose "Month" then it fails - presumably because there are a lot more records.

It's not a timeout thing as we've bumped this up in web.config (and, besides, the same month export works in Chrome and FireFox). For instance, the form with a problem has around 1700 rows (and is 1,812KB in size as CSV when exported from Chrome).

I've tried IE10 in IE9 compatability modes, but this hasn't helped.

What happens in IE10 when exporting monthly is this:

You click 'Export' and nothing apparently happens. Then, after a while, you get the dialogue to save the file appear. You click 'Save' and IE responds 'xxx.csv couldn't be downloaded'. If you click 'Retry' then it does download a file, but when you view it then it's the HTML source to the download page, which looks like this:

If there's any more info you require, let me know. I can possibly set you up with a login to the site, if needed? It's a commercial site, though, so can't really give you the DB or anything.

If anyone encounters this again, which i just have on IE11 - it can be solved by increasing <jsonSerialization maxJsonLength="1000000" /> in the web config.

I encounter this issue too. I am using IE 11 (11.0.9600.17914) and I can reproduce this issue by inserting bulk records (around 2 MB).

But the behavior is IE interrupts the export request (it shows "This file couldn't be downloaded" in View Downloads), and if you click retry, IE just GET the URL, not POST the request.

so I can only receive the html code as csv content.

Regarding my testing, if the size of data is bigger than 600KB, you will encounter this issue. And yes, increasing jsonSerialization seems work. But if the size of data is more than 2 MB, increasing jsonSerialization is not working. IE always interrupts the request when the Received(B) is around 1,200,000 to 1,300,000.

and I try to use Fiddler to check it, but with Fiddler, it works fine again.

I found a discussion and a article about IE download issue.

but I can't verify.

any update from contour? (our contour version is 3.0.21)
