Re: How do I force a 'Save Window?'

Quick google search shows :

Send the mime type as : application/vnd.ms-project
I do this with excel using application/vnd.ms-excel and the marketing folks love it.
So, you would have to provide a link to your modperl app that opens the file and pushes it out with this content type.

Bonus Points : Use
Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=blabla

and pre-set the name of the file on disk.

Subject: How do I force a 'Save Window?'

I have file upload working, can upload files of ascii or binary format.
But a problem when you browse to a page that dynamically displays
hyperlinks to files. Text and html files display normally in a browser,
and Word docs popup MS Word as a helper app, and the word doc
opens fine. But MS Project files popup a browser instance and MS
Project, and you get the usual "Enable macros" and such popups as
normal, but only a subset of the project displays in the browser window,
and none of the buttons are active in the Project application. Bummer.

How can I force a "Save File" dialog screen for selected files, so the

user

will have the option to download the file, then open it in Project or
whatever?


Thanks for any help or information.
