Hi Scott, Side note: When I added the Content-Disposition It worked fine under IE 5.5 Win 98 But under XP Pro and IE 6 it forced a download without open option
This could be a setting The below work, This one is without the Content-Disposition <@assign local$encodeResults value="false"><@assign name="httpHeader" scope="local" value="HTTP/1.0 200 OK<@char code=13><@char code=10>MIME-Version: 1.0<@char code=13><@char code=10>Content-type: application/msword<@char code=13><@char code=10>Content-Length: <@length @@local$RTFData><@char code=13><@char code=10><@char code=13><@char code=10>"><@purgeresults><@var local$RTFData ENCODING=NONE> This one is with the Content-Disposition <@assign local$encodeResults value="false"><@assign name="httpHeader" scope="local" value="HTTP/1.0 200 OK<@char code=13><@char code=10>MIME-Version: 1.0<@char code=13><@char code=10>Content-type: application/msword<@char code=13><@char code=10>Content-Length: <@length @@local$RTFData><@char code=13><@char code=10>Content-Disposition: inline; filename=<@dq><@VAR local$theFileName><@dq><@char code=13><@char code=10><@char code=13><@char code=10>"><@purgeresults><@var local$RTFData ENCODING=NONE> Ben Johansen - http://www.pcforge.com Authorized Witango Reseller http://www.pcforge.com/WitangoGoodies.htm Latest downloads & List Archives @ http://www.witango.ws -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Scott Cadillac Sent: Wednesday, September 04, 2002 2:26 PM To: Multiple recipients of list witango-talk Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: httpHeader and RTF files Hi Ben, I can't recall exactly what Phil showed us the conference, but I can tell you that MSIE (I can't speak for other browsers) doesn't know which client software to launch for " application/rtf " content, so it forces the file to a download by default. You just have to change your local$httpHeader Assignment to include " Content-type: application/msword " to force MS Word to open the file. Subsequently MS Word then automatically converts the RTF to Word format. The same rule applies if you wanted to write a pretty HTML page and have it opened as a formatted Word document with pretty formatting - including tables. Note: you should also include the following in your local$httpHeader Assignment: Content-Disposition: inline; filename=<@dq><@VAR local$myFileName><@dq> Hope this helps.
