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

[siberian]

I guess its a your mileage may vary sort of thing. The marketing folks here use XP and whatever IE comes with it. I send
$r->content_type( 'application/vnd.ms-excel' ) ;
$r->header_out('Content-Disposition' => 'attachment; filename=report.xls' ) ;
#$r->content_type( 'application/octet-stream' ) ;
$r->send_http_header;

and for their XP boxes it opens properly in browser ( same for project ). They are posting to index.html in this case but get the filename properly.
On my mac os x I actually get a file named 'report.xls' in my save dialog.

So, as often is the case, Your Mileage May Vary :)

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

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

I tried it hard (in my case I generate PDF files. No way. Internet
Explorer ignored it. Finally I decided to perform redirect to URL
ending with /blabla.pdf - then it worked more-or-less as expected.
