When you click a link to download a bitstream it can either be downloaded as a file, where you browser will ask you where to save it to the filesystem or viewed within the browser (possibly via some plugin). We've run into problems in the past where really big PDF's in a repository will crash user's pdf plugin in their browser. These settings configure how big a file is before it changes the disposition (how the browser will handle it...)
In other words, if a bitstream is bigger than the disposition threshold (measured in bytes) then file will be downloaded directly to the file system where the user will then have to open it manually. However if the bitstream is smaller, then the browser may try to view the file within the browser or pass it to a browser plugin. Hope that helps, Scott-- On Sep 16, 2009, at 2:18 PM, Jeffrey Trimble wrote: > I have incomplete documentation for the following dspace.cfg key > stanza: > > "Content Inline Disposition Threshold" > webui.content_disposition_threshold = 8388608 > xmlui.content_disposition_threshold = 8388608 > > What does this control.
