I think you are right, but it seems to be more complicated than I initially thought.
In the Cocoon2 sitemap.xmap, I can designate relationships. I noticed that on my *.doc files, it does not matter if I have a mime-type specified or not. In the Tomcat map.xml file, you can also define what applications go with what extensions. Just for fun, I associated *.bin with Word and Word came up. Finally, there is the lovely Windows file association which I recently was reminded about. Even if made the definition for *.doc files in sitemap.xmap and map.xml the same as the *.bin files, Word would still load. I could not find the "extras" menu, but any application changes would be out of my scope. I would not be able to change the application settings for all users who access my web site. I guess that is why most Word documents are compressed as ZIP files. And here I thought it was just to save space and not ensure a download prompt... As for the priorities, I suspect that first is Cocoon, then Tomcat and finally Windows. But thanks for your reply, it did help me figure out this out a litte better. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jörg Heinicke [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: October 3, 2001 8:47 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: How to have prompt for download? > > > I think, this is a problem of Windows not of Cocoon.
