but try to change the file extension in the matcher pattern;
something like this:
<map:match pattern="*.txt">
<map:act
type="action-that-sets-the-content-disposition"/>
<map:read
mime-type="application/text" src="">
</map:match>
this way the URL in your browser will look like http://host/whatever.txt
and IE uses the file extension used in the URL to recognize the content-type

Have tried that already, but of
no help again. I tried setting the content-type from setHeader as well,
res.setHeader("Content-Disposition",
"attachment; filename="+sName);
res.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/html");
The entry in the sitemap is as
follows:
<map:read src=""
mime-type="application/dbexport"/>
I
have tried modifying it to
<map:read
src="" mime-type="application/text"/>
and <map:read src="" mime-type="application/txt"/>
None of above works well.
Neeraj.

try setting the correct file extension in your cocoon URI
coz IE always uses the file extension to locate which content-type that
must be used
so in your example (txt-file) your sitemap matcher must
end with ".txt"; example: "whatever-*.txt"

Thank you for reply. I am sure that the file is not empty. Also the space
between "content-" and disposition does not do any good, unfortunately.

are you sure the file isn't empty?
the big problem with file downloads is how to make it work
in IE becourse IE doesn't use the standard way like Mozilla, NS, ... try
placing a space between "content-" and "disposition"
the [1] is something typical for IE

As I updated in my previous mail that the solution suugested by Gunter
worked fine to specify the file name.
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;
filename=myfile.txt;");
I ran into another problem after modifying the header. I am not sure if
that is a problem with browser, or I need to set another attribute in the
header. Following is the error.
1. When I click the
Download button on the html page, it displays the "File Download"
dialog box with the filename specified in the "content-Disposition"
header.
2. However when I click
the "Open" button on the file download box, I get another dialog
box, "Windows cannot open this file ........". Then I select
"Select the program from a list" option and click "Ok"
and then I select "notepad" from the "Open With" dialog
box.
3. After this it opens
the notepad application, and displays another dialog box with following
question"
"Cannot find the
D:\Data\...............\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\8AFR0TYJ\myfile[1].txt.
Do you want to create a new file?"
I click the
"yes" button and but still it does not download the file correctly.
Also I am not sure why the filename gets manipulated with "[1]"
text.
Is there any setting
in Ineternet Explorer to rectify this problem or there is something wrong
with my program?
THE SAME THING WORKS
WELL IN MOZILLA, i.e., FILE GETS DOWNLOAD PROPERLY WITH DESIRED FILE NAME.
Could someone please
suggest on as to what could be wrong with my program.
Thank you for your
help.

you should set the http header content-disposition; I don't
know exactly if that can be easily set in the sitemap but if that doesn't
work you can easily define an action that does it:
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=yourfile.extension;");
sometimes it also necessary to place a space between "content-"
and "disposition"

Hi,
I am trying to download a file
from server and I have following entry in the sitemap for the same.
<map:match pattern="myURI*">
<map:act type="myURI-action">
<map:read src="" mime-type="application/dbexport"/>
<map:redirect-to uri="{result}"/>
</map:act>
<map:redirect-to uri="cocoon:/main.html?title=error+in+myURI-action"/>
</map:match>
Now, I am able to get the file correctly but the "File Name"
field in the file download dialog is a random text. Is there is way to
specify this field from my myURI-action class?
Also the "Type" field is blank in the File Download dialog box.
Can someone please tell me how can I specify the filename here.
Thanks.
