changing the mime type of the download helps, but w3c says that it's up to the user-agent whether to display the document or save it. in other words, you can't control this behavior 100%.
for example, if you send an unknown mime type to IE, then a save dialog will appear the first time. however, if the user hits the URL again, the file is in IE's cache, and IE recognizes the extension on the file, then IE will display it and not give a save dialog. > -----Original Message----- > From: Nicolas Toper [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 12:26 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [Help] Downloading file into local Disk > > > you need to change the Mime type to application/x-download or for NS > application/octet-stream (you need to check about the exact > Mime type). > > I don't know how to change the header with Cocoon but I guess > someone can > help :=) > > > -----Message d'origine----- > > De : Lionel Crine [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Envoy� : jeudi 11 septembre 2003 18:05 > > � : [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Objet : [Help] Downloading file into local Disk > > > > > > Hi, > > > > I'd like my browser web not to display the xml document but > to open a > > download popup. > > > > I hae created a serializer with a mime-type set to > > binary/octet-stream, but > > when I try : > > <map:match pattern="save.xml"> > > <map:generate type="file" src="toto.xml"/> > > <map:serializer type="save"/> > > </map:match> > > > > > > the browser display the document. > > > > Else if I try to write <map:match pattern="save.t"> > instead, the download > > popup comes up!!! > > > > Any idea ? > > > > Thanks > > Lionel > > > > > > > > Lionel CRINE > > Soci�t� : 4DConcept > > 22 rue Etienne de Jouy 78353 JOUY EN JOSAS > > Tel : 01.34.58.70.70 Fax : 01.39.58.70.70 > > > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
