Issues with hosting a static HTML in the JCR/AEM
Issue : In AEM 6.x, when we attempt to hit the static content, such as: /etc/designs/hello/1.html, it is treated like a binary download. Root cause:- This is an intended change made by Adobe engineering in AEM 6.2. Even for 6.1, Adobe released a hotfix for it NPR-9381. GRANITE-9550 - Extend content disposition filter protection to author. NPR-9381 - HF for GRANITE-9550 - Extend content disposition filter protection to author. This was introduced as part of Sling Security Fix . Solution:- Open OSGI configuration org.apache.sling.security.impl.ContentDispositionFilter Add static file relative path (for example /etc/designs/hello/1.html ) in Content Disposition Excluded Paths.
