Re: [flexcoders] Re: File download from server

[Paul DSa]

I had the same problem with my app. Once we shifted to flash player 10 my
downloads would keep giving the error.  I¹d generate a file on the user
click and then automatically start the download. From what I learnt it was a
security thing added in, to start the download event it requires user
interaction. I fixed it by added a message after the file gets created, once
the user selects ok, the download starts. Its not the prettiest solution,
but it works.

Same solution: Ended up adding a button dynamically on the successful
response from the server that the file was ready. Then the user clicks
the just added [Download Zip] button to fetch the file.

[flexcoders] Re: File download from server

[oneworld95]

For whatever reason, setting content-disposition stuff didn't work for
me and was running out of time. What I ended up doing was this,

 - User clicks a button to generate the file on the Java side and save
it to the server.
 - In Flex, when server returns the usual XML response saying all is
OK, I dynamically add a button to the app to handle the download using
a FileReference object. 
 - On successful download (Event.COMPLETE), I delete the button from
the app.

[flexcoders] Re: File Download

[Doug Lowder]

One way to get the Open/Save dialog is to have your Flex control link 
to a server-side URL that sets the Content-Disposition header to 
something like attachment; filename=myFile.pdf.  You should also set 
the content type to the appropriate value based on the type of file 
ding downloaded.  How you set those headers depends on what server-side 
technology you're using - JSP, ASP, PHP, etc.  You can probably find 
some examples in the archives.

HTH,
Doug

I looked over the code I have for the download. It seems weird that the 
FileReference class doesn't work as it should and probably somebody for Adobe 
can shed some light here.

Here is the code I have used:

   var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(download.action);
  
request.method = URLRequestMethod.GET;  
  var 
params:URLVariables = new URLVariables(); 
  params.id = REPLACE_ME; 
  request.data = params;
  navigateToURL(request, _self);

doesnt work?
 
 
 
 I have the code below to 
download a file from my J2EE server but it
doesn't work. the dialog box to 
select the folder

RE: [flexcoders] Re: file download doesnt work?

[leds usop]

have you tried attaching event listeners to the open
and complete events of your urlloader instance then
tracing the MIME type of the downloaded data (for the
complete event)? This way youll see if a download
actually commences (on open) and if the downloaded
data is decoded properly (on  complete). It is
possible that the dataformat of the urlloader instance
data is not what you require. just a thought

 Dimitrios,
 
 This should work for you:
 import flash.net.*;
 
 var url:String;

url=http://localhost:7001/billing/servlet/FileSvlt?operation=

http://localhost:7001/billing/servlet/FileSvlt?operation=
 ; 
 url +=DOWNLOADfileId=2;
 
 var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
 sendToURL(urlRequest);

  Not Sure if this will work Dimitrios,
  But I seem to remember having similar issues and
 reading somewhere
 that the constructor of the Url Request expected a
 url as a string.
  
  var req:URLRequest = new
 URLRequest(http://localhost
 http://localhost/ : 7001/billing/ servlet/FileSvlt
 ) ;
  req.method = URLRequestMethod. GET;
  req.data = new URLVariables(operation=DOWNLOAD
 );
  try {
  var fr:FileReference = new FileReference( );
  fr.download( req );
  }
  catch( e:Error ) {
  trace( Download error:  + e.message );
  }
  
  
  
  I double checked some code of mine and that's
 exactly how i got it
 working. Anyways, like I said, not sure if it will
 help,
  You probably have already tried it.

  Ok I switch the code around a bit and it looks
 more like this now:
  
  var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest() ;
  req.url = http://localhost: 7001/billing/
 servlet/FileSvlt ;
  req.method = URLRequestMethod. GET;
  req.data = new URLVariables(operation=DOWNLOAD
 );
  try {
  var fr:FileReference = new FileReference( );
  fr.download( req );
  }
  catch( e:Error ) {
  trace( Download error:  + e.message );
  }
  
  
  But it still doesn't work, my Java servlet doesn't
 get called at
 all. I have log messages in the service(), doGet()
 and doPost()
 methods and I see nothing. My upload works like a
 charm.

[flexcoders] Re: file download doesnt work?

[Doug Lowder]

So does:

  req.url = http://localhost:7001/billing/servlet/FileSvlt;;

mean that your client and server are one and the same?  Does it work 
if you use a DNS name or IP instead of localhost?
