Applies To
- Creo Parametric 4.0 F000 to 7.0.7.0
- Creo Parametric 8.0 F000 to 8.0.3.0
- Windchill PDMLink 11.0 M030 to 12.0
- Windchill Workgroup Manager
Description
- Requests for some Windchill resources from the embedded Creo Parametric or Windchill Workgroup Manager Chromium browser may be unexpectedly compressed (e.g. the network stream from the server to the client is gzip compressed)
- Content download using embedded Chromium browser is slower than embedded Internet Explorer (IE) browser in Creo Parametric and Windchill Workgroup Manager
- On high bandwidth network LAN connection, content download from embedded Chromium browser is slower than the embedded Internet Explorer browser
- Add to workspace via embedded chromium browser takes about twice as long as embedded IE browser and clearing browser and Creo or Windchill Workgroup Managers caches does not help
- The user agent string from the embedded Chromium browser varies when communicating with Windchill:
- From an expected value containing "Wildfire NoTrail; ProE-Datecode:##########" or "Wildfire UWGM NoTrail; ProE-Datecode:##########"
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/91.0.4472.124; Creo Browser; Wildfire NoTrail; ProE-Datecode:3802021304) Safari/537.36
- To a value without "Creo Browser; Wildfire NoTrail; ProE-Datecode:##########":
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/91.0.4472.124; Creo Browser) Safari/537.36
- Responses to SOME client Windchill server resource requests are unexpectedly compressed and response bodies to URL's like the following are compressed:
- /Windchill/servlet/ProwtGW
- /Windchill/servlet/SimpleTaskDispatcher?CLASS=com.ptc.windchill.uwgm
- /Windchill/servlet/WindchillAuthGW/com.ptc.windchill.uwgm.soap.impl.uwgm.BinaryRequestHandler/...
- /Windchill/servlet/rest/v1/contexts/...
- /Windchill/servlet/rest/security/csrf
- /Windchill/servlet/rest/v1/content/chapteredCreationFactory
- /Windchill/servlet/WindchillGW/wt.fv.master.StandardMasterService/doDirectDownload/..
