I'm trying to name a file that is being downloaded via a servlet. I have done
this:
response.setContentType(mimeType); // i.e. "application/x-zip-compressed"
response.setHeader("Content-dispostion", "attachment; filename=\"" + itemName +
"\"");
response.setContentLength(getItem().length) ;
.. then I print it
The file downloads fine, works and everything, but the filename is incorrect (it
is still the name of the servlet, although it does append the suffix of the
filename, i.e. "ServletName.zip").
Any ideas?
