Hi,
The best solution is to register your own nsIWebContentPolicy XPCOM
component
in an embedded Gecko application.
This would allow you to reject or approve each outbound HTTP request
based on its URL or Content Type.
You can then spawn your own download from the callback.
The second solution is to set your own window creator in an XULRunner app.
You will get a callback whenever a window opens. You can then block the
default download manager
from opening in the callback. This would also prevent the original
download from commencing.
However, you do need to add a "click" listener to trigger your own download.
Also, This approach does not block the outbound http request.

Hi Jürgen,
first: "Mozilla Developer Network" is just the name of the online
documentation at developer.mozilla.org.
second: don't try to embed Gecko into your application. Many have tried
before and failed sooner or later. If you want to embed a browser, use
Webkit or IE (depending on how you developed your application, e.g. in
Qt it's really easy to embed Webkit).
third: for your use case I don't think you even need to embed a web
browser into your application. You could use a simple XULRunner
application or even a regular Firefox with a (to-be-developed) special
Add-On.

Hi All,
I am an absolutely newbie at the Mozilla Developer Network and I have
a few questions. I don't know if it's possible to realize the project I will
do here with all the great stuff you provide. But let me explain what I will do:
1.
We have an application(cross platform Macintosh + Windows) that is running. Out
of
this application we will show now an present Homepage of a partner of us. This
should
happen in an separate window but I think this must be possible with the stuff
from here?
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/The_Joy_of_XUL
2.
If this Homepage is opened in the separate window the user could choose out of
a few download links
that are on this page.
If he now click on one of the download links, normally the download window of
the web browser will
come up to show where the file will be saved.
But what we want is to download the file at a separate place we could define
without the dialog where
it should be saved and close the separate window that shows the Homepage.
3.
Now when the browser window is closed we need a message or anything else in the
main application that
a file was downloaded. Now we could load the downloaded file in the main
application that is running.
I know this is just a very short description of the things we will do. But
maybe someone of you did something
similar and could give me some hints, how this project could be realized? Maybe
it's not possible to
realize with the Mozilla Developer Network? Maybe I need to search for another
Developer Network?
Thanks for any help!!!
Regards,
Jürgen
