RE: setContentType / File download
Please help, we encounter similar problem but with IE5.5 only (no problem
with all Netscapes, and IE5.01 and below versions). Seems MS has changed
something in IE5.5

Subject:setContentType / File download
Hi tomcat-user,
i have some troubles using the setContentType method.
I want to generate a CSV file of my database data and send it to the
browser. the browser should then say "save file as filenam.csv" ...
what i do is:
response.setContentType("application/msexcel;name=\"TUInventory.csv\"\nConte
nt-Disposition: attachment;filename=TUInventory.csv;");
this works for netscape browsers, but ie wants to save index.html.
any tips?
Gerd

On the cocoon-users there's been a discussion about the following code
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename=kluge.txt");
they said it was an "unofficial" IE header for the same purpose. haven't tested it
myself,
but looks like we now have two complementry solutions, for
IE and NS :-)

Hi,
try this:
response.setContentType(application/msexcel);
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","inline; filename="here goes my
filename");
this works for me in IE and NS.

RE: setContentType / File download
oh goodie... someone else who has this problem!
I battled this one for a long time and finally, microsoft sent out
the following article on their web:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q279/6/67.ASP
And here is another article which I find interesting:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q267/9/91.ASP
My guess... M$ tried to fix the bug in the later one but screwed up
somewhere along the line which resulted in the first one.
Anyways. This is due to one of the very few *acknowledged* (by
Microsoft I mean) bugs in IE 5.5 so sorry, nothing you can do about
it! but on the bright side... it's nothing you did wrong either ;o)
(this is what I'm trying to convince myself of after spending waaayyy to
much time on this).
Regards, Stefan.
p.s. If you're using tomcat I'd suggest you use this code instead of
what you have (just for readability):
response.setContentType("application/msexcel");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=TUInventor
y.csv");
p.p.s.
I solved this by checking the "User-Agent" header in the request and if
it was IE5.5 I don't set the Content disposition header. This pops up
the Save file/open dialog box but if you choose to save you'll get a
garbled name... but at least you'll get the file!
