Re: Servlet Streaming file to client: Can't override file name
What happens in FireFox if you do this: response.setHeader(Content-Disposition, attachment; filename=\ + theFile.getName() + \); The relevant spec is here: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2183.txt And for the definition of 'value' it references: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2045.txt The filename parameter must be quoted if it contains spaces.

Servlet Streaming file to client: Can't override file name
I wrote a simple servlet that streams a file to the requesting client.
Everything works fine except I can't figure out how to override the
filename that Tomcat provides by default to the client for the incoming
file. The filename presened to the client is the name of the web app.
The HttpServletResponse object that Tomcat passes to the servlet
provides access to an OutputStream object, and I see no way to set the
filename with an object of that class. If Tomcat passed a
FileOutputStream object (child of OutputStream), I could call a
constructor that sets the file name or file descriptor, but casting the
OutputStream to a FileOutputStream is not permitted. According to the
API, the OutputStream object that Tomcat passess to the servlet is
actually a ServletOutputStream object, which is an abstract child of
OutputStream. Is there a concrete child of ServletOutputStream that I
could cast it to, that would let me specify the filename? Is this
something configurable in Tomcat? Any other way to set the filename?
Here's my servlet code.
package FileSnatcher;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.activation.MimetypesFileTypeMap;
/**

public class FileSender extends HttpServlet{
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException{
String file = request.getParameter(file);
MimetypesFileTypeMap mimeTypes = new MimetypesFileTypeMap
(C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.5.0_01\\lib\\mime.types);
String mime = mimeTypes.getContentType(new File(file));
response.setContentType(mime);
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(new File(file));
OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int i = 0;
while((i=in.read(buf))!=-1) {
out.write(buf, 0, i);
}
in.close();
out.close();
}
}
