Hi,
Try the "Content-disposition" header.
It seems to work with MS Internet Explorer and Netscape browsers - I have
not tested others.
If you want to return a RTF file named MyFilename.rtf, it could be done like
this:
class MyServlet extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet{
...
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req,HttpServletResponse res)
throws javax.servlet.ServletException, java.io.IOException{
...
res.setContentType("text/rtf");
res.setHeader("Content-disposition",
"filename=MyFilename.rtf");
...
}
}
Regards,
Tõnu
