I'm trying to get my server to send an MP3 file to the client, but it's just
not working on Internet Explorer (Firefox works fine). The user clicks a
link like this:
<a href="/myapp/GetMP3.do?id=1">download file</a>
And whereas Firefox opens up a "save as" window, IE forwards you to an error
404. I've read about IE mime-sniffing, but is there any solution? (I've
also tried sub-classing DownloadAction, but to no avail)
The servlet code looks like:
response.reset();
response.setContentType("audio/x-mpeg"); // I've also tried
"application/x-download"
response.setContentLength((int)filelen);
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=foo.mp3");
BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(...);
BufferedOutputStream out = new
BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
int count;
byte buffer = new byte[1024];
while ((count = in.read(buffer,0,1024)) != -1)
out.write(buffer,0,count);
out.flush();
out.close();
response.flushBuffer();
