I have a Jenkins job which produces an HTML file as an artifact. On the Jenkins job page, I can open this page fine. This page contains links to other artifacts, either to the same Jenkins server or to another Hudson server working on a different port.
The problem is that when left-clicking on the link nothing happens, no download is started for .exe, .zip or .tar.gz files (only .txt files are displayed as expected). The same thing used to work without problems in the Hudson server, we are just trying to migrate it over to Jenkins. Basically the same links (just relative, not full URL-s) work fine on the individual job pages in the same Jenkins.
The download is only started when I right-click and select “Save link as…” or “Open the link in new tab”. Also, if I save the original page in a disk .html file, open this file in the browser from the disk and click the links, everything works as expected.
Any ideas? The behavior is consistent across browsers, so seems to have something to do with the Jenkins server.
