I've implemented a file download using the Struts 1.2.9 version of
org.apache.struts.actions.DownloadAction. When the user hits the
download button, he or she gets the save/open/cancel dialog with the
correct filename. In Firefox, hitting "save" or "open" does exactly
what I expect (i.e., I can save the file or open it in notepad). On IE,
"save" works as expected.
However, in IE6, if I hit "Open", it opens notepad with a filename that
looks like "file[1].txt" (note the "[1]" which doesn't exist in the
original filename and then it asks if I want to create a new file since
it appears the file didn't get downloaded. Has anyone else seen this
and found a solution?
This is not a IE bug, you can recreate the same easily using Firefox.
When you select 'open' in browsers, the file is actually downloaded to
your Temporary folder and opened. If a file with the same name exists
in the temporary folder, the browsers modify the file name to
differentiate it from the previous one. Usually if the file is named
'file.txt' subsequent download actions on Firefox would create
'file-1.txt', 'file-2.txt', and so on. On IE the series goes like
'file[1].txt', 'file[2].txt'.
