Error attaching screen capture to work item


Rob Brown (2133) | asked Nov 08 '11, 2:08 p.m.
In the RTC web client, I am attempting to perform a screen capture using the tool on the work item screen. Everything is fine to the point where I want to attach the screen capture to the current work item. When I click the work item under "Attach To:", I get the following error:

Error while attacing screen capture. Reason: Bad Request (400)

I have tried using IE8, Chrome and FireFox and the problem exists in all three browswers. Others in my office don't have this problem so I suspect it might be a Java issue. I currently having JRE 1.6.0_11-b03 as the default whereas the people not having the problem are using JRE 1.6.0_16-b01.

Any ideas?

Does it work when you upgrade java?

It has always worked for me, at the moment I am on: 1.6.0_24
