症状

After upgrading to Confluence version 5.1 or newer, attachments files are no longer opening in the browser itself, users are being prompted for download.

原因

The current behavior (Confluence not allowing attachments to be opened in the browser) is a side effect of a security improvement added to the product. As attachments can be "active content", the behavior in Confluence will not be reverted.

回避策

1. Click on cog at the Confluence header and choose "Confluence Admin"
2. Under "Users & Security" choose "Security Configuration".
3. Click any of the "Edit" buttons on the page and find the "Attachment Download Security Policy" section.
4. Select the "Insecure: Display all attachments inline" option and click "Save".
