Somehow this issue doesn't come up on other sites. I'm not sure if you have unusual requirements or you're not considering all the UI possibilities. Maybe it's because when people download something, they're either done with the site (e.g., for a tarball) or want to remain on the same page (e.g., for a PDF link). Perhaps the most succulent way would be a redirect HTML page (3xx) that says, "Your download will begin shortly. <Click here> if it doesn't. <Continue onward / Return to product summary>". The redirect would cause the download to automatically start, but would not move from the page. The page would technically be an error message, but if you use your regular site template it will have all the logos and menus people expect, so it'll look like a regular page. -- Mike Orr <[email protected]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
