Unluckily the code paths are quite complex. Possibly class TypeEaEnumerator could be extended to delete those EAs if I had the skills to do it and if they don't get added somewhere else later.
While in here, I should try to figure out where the .TYPE EA (stores the download URL) is getting eaten. Perhaps we could save it and get rid of the other EAs at the same time.
For now, it seems simpler to just change the default permissions from 0600 to perhaps 0666.

There exists eaclean by David A. for that. See https://88watts.net/software.html.

Yes, that would be one workaround. class TypeEaEnumerator (written by Rich) is actually in xpcom\io\nsLocalFileOS2.cpp and it seems this stuff should go into that file, it is about 70KB with 2677 lines, perhaps too complex for me right now.
Looking, it seems that it is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120679 that is the problem and has been since before Mozilla v1 if I understand correctly. As usual, this bug died due to bikeshedding. What I've tried is this,

 Dave,

  Thanks for producing this new build! Everything I've tried so far produces '-rw-r--r-- root root' when downloaded whether .zip file, .exe file or .txt file. But it doesn't add up - if you are trying to use '0666' to set permissions, that should produce '-rw-rw-rw- root root'. '-rw-r--r--' = 0644, doesn't it? If you are going for a 'one size fits all' approach, maybe 0777 is the way to go to cover any possibility...

Regards,

Dave Yeo

Good observation, wonder if something is changing the permissions after being set where I patched? Have to experiment a bit more unless having it universally read-only is good enough. Louis figures 0777 is overkill.
Another question is email attachments.

0666 is octal - are you sure you're not entering 0x666? The compiler will recognize octal if there's a leading zero (whence '0666'). FWIW... 0666 == 0x1B6.

Louis figures 0777 is overkill.

At the point where you are assigning permissions, doesn't the code know whether this is an executable or not?

There are no "other questions". This is OS/2: there are no users or groups, there is no security, none of the Unix considerations apply. I can look at and modify any file on my system, regardless of what someone's alien software says., These bogus Unix permissions should reflect that.

No, I was entering octal, just made a bad assumption that somewhere the code was doing a chmod

No, I tried where it downloaded it and where the final moveto was done. At least now I found where that final moveto is now done (nsDownloadManager.cpp) so maybe can fix your EA .subject code.

Yes, the permissions shouldn't matter, yet as David found, when other systems get involved, they do matter. This would also included accessing HPFS on Linux, which uses the same EA's for permissions.
Anyways for now I added chmod() to nsLocalFileOS2.cpp which seems to work. Perhaps I should try replacing it with Alex's code to delete the permissions as I agree that on OS/2 they're more of a hassle then a help.

New test build at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PPfJnqG_-6wgsRZq6A07fs0eHzusDXvs/view?usp=drivesdk.
For this I added chmod() to nsLocalFile::GetPermissionsOfLink() in nsLocalFileOS2.cpp. Might try Alex's suggestion as now I know where to add it I think.

 Thanks again Dave! This one seems better - everything is downloaded with -rw-rw-rw- (0666) now. Would be interested if you could try Alex's idea too (which makes sense for OS/2)..

In my QE editor and a few other programs, I simply make sure that new files are created without EAs. 

More precisely, because libc creates these file permission EAs on a new file automatically, my save routines all have some logic to immediately delete them if the file was new. (I don't do that when updating an existing file because the user might actually have set them on purpose.)

e.g.
Code: [Select]
    if ( !fileExists ) {
#ifdef __OS2__
        // If this is a new file, get rid of the useless default EAs added by klibc
        deleteEA( pszFileName, (PCSZ) "UID");
        deleteEA( pszFileName, (PCSZ) "GID");
        deleteEA( pszFileName, (PCSZ) "MODE");
        deleteEA( pszFileName, (PCSZ) "INO");
        deleteEA( pszFileName, (PCSZ) "RDEV");
        deleteEA( pszFileName, (PCSZ) "GEN");
        deleteEA( pszFileName, (PCSZ) "FLAGS");
#endif
    }

Code: [Select]
unsigned long deleteEA( char *pszPathName, const char *pszEAName )
{
    PFEA2LIST pFEA2List = NULL;
    PFEA2     pFEA2 = NULL;
    EAOP2     eaop2 = {0};
    size_t    cb = 0;
    APIRET    rc = ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY;

    cb = sizeof( FEA2LIST ) + strlen( pszEAName );
    pFEA2List = (PFEA2LIST) calloc( cb, 1 );
    if ( pFEA2List ) {
        pFEA2List->cbList = cb;
        pFEA2 = pFEA2List->list;
        pFEA2->cbName = (BYTE) strlen( pszEAName );
        strcpy( pFEA2->szName, pszEAName );
        pFEA2->cbValue = 0;

        eaop2.fpFEA2List = pFEA2List;
        rc = DosSetPathInfo( (PCSZ) pszPathName, FIL_QUERYEASIZE,
                             (PBYTE) &eaop2, sizeof( eaop2 ), DSPI_WRTTHRU );
        free( pFEA2List );
    }
    return (unsigned long) rc;
}

Well, so far I've come up with this,

Change both input params to "const char *", change function logic to ensure that you ALWAYS return a value (currently, you don't).

Thanks, that worked, except the EA's are still there. Probably need to strip them later when the tmp file gets moved to the permanent name in download.cpp

You should also preset the "rc" Variable with a decent value. Just like the initial example from Alexander Taylor.

Yes, I set it with NO_ERROR. At first I was worried about the scope of rc as it is used throughout the file.  Though thinking about it, I'm not sure what happens if there is an error, whether in the memory allocation or what DosQueryPathInfo() returns, perhaps it should have been passed somehow to the class, nsLocalFile::SetPermissions(uint32_t aPermissions).

In C, if you declare a variable in a block ("{" ... "}"), it is only known in that block (and effectively becomes a stack variable unless you declare it as "static" in which case it will be placed into the default data segment with a "madeup" unique name).
If you declare a variable outside of any block, then it is known throughout the whole source file (module). That way, you can have "rc" multiple times in a file but they are only declared locally.

The routine you are pointing to looks reasonable. Obviously, "NS_IMETHODIMP" is a define for something like "ULONG APIENTRY" or "unsigned long _System" or "unsigned long _cdecl" or such. In other words, a combination of return value and calling convention (you would need to search the header files for it ...).
By the way: "ConvertOS2Error" can also deal with a NO_ERROR = 0 on entry, therefore:
Code: [Select]
    if (rc)
        return ConvertOS2Error(rc);

    return NS_OK;
can just become:
Code: [Select]
     return ConvertOS2Error(rc);
