Following on from my mail yesterday, here are the results of testing
Billy's multipart content method on Windows browsers (Windows 98 to be
precise):
* IE 6.0 displays the boundary markers and content-type headers
inline and also the contents of myfile.foo instead of saving
it to disk.
* Netscape 6.2.2 displays the HTML correctly and prompts
regarding whether myfile.foo should be saved to disk but then
appears to do nothing.
* Netscape 4.7 displays the HTML correctly and begins
downloading the file, only prompting for where it should be
saved when the download is complete.
* Opera 6.0 displays the HTMl correctly and prompts for where
you wish to save the file, but incorrectly uses the script
name and not the file name as specified in the
content-disposition header.
(It is possible that the behaviour of both Netscape 4.7 and Netscape
6.2.2 was in part due to interaction with Norton Anti-Virus.)
Hope this is informative and not spam.
Best, Darren
