As I know of that IE always has a way of detecting the contentType
automatically(if it can) no matter what you set the contentType to be. So,
your user probably just have to do a file save by themselves if they use IE.
Correct me if I am wrong or if you find out a way of fooling the IE, I'd
really want to know as well.
Thanks

Subject: saving file on client
Hi,
i have a servlet that edits a file. After editing the file i want to save
the file on the requesting client. Here ist the code i tried:
...
response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter (new
OutputStreamWriter(response.getOutputStream()));
try {
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(path));
out.write (reader.read ());
} catch(FileNotFoundException ex) {}
...
When i use this with netscape it works fine, the browser opens a save dialog
and saves the file (only one byte, but for testing it is o.k.). With IE it
doesn�t work.
How can i save a file on client side out of my servlet???
Thanks,
Thomas
