I'm not sure what you want is possible. The document download happens in the client, and unless you can embed something to communicate back to your server, I don't think you'll ever know if they actually download it or not. Someone else suggested using try/catch, and I tried that to see if it would work. Unless I'm doing something wrong, the catch doesn't fire when the download is cancelled.
Now that I think about it, you should be able to see real download numbers in your web server logs. > -----Original Message----- > From: Brian Coleman > Sent: Tuesday, March 21, 2006 9:03 AM > > Does anyone know of a way to serve up files and record how > many times the file's been downloaded? > > For example if I use some code like this... > <cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment; > filename="D:\etc"> > <cfcontent file="D:\etc" type="application/octet-stream"> > > Is there some way I record info *after* the download? > I tried putting some code at the top of a page like this and > it executed...but putting it after the <cfcontent> nothing happened. > If I put it at the top of the page, I guess it's like a click > counter, it records the user having clicked the link to the > page but not if they saved or canceled the download.
