Hi. I have read the manual and FAQ and have this almost working but I am
missing something. My CGI uses cookies to save a users querys on a
database but I want to allow the user to also store this in regular file.
(The cookie is set to expire in 7 days) In the docs for CGI.pm it says to
use a header like this
print $q->header(-type=>"application/octet-stream",
-attachment=>"chr22_history.txt");
#print to stdout desired contents of file and exit
to make the browser prompt the user to save the file instead of displaying
what is returned. I found through testing this only works if the button
that was clicked to call the cgi is on a multipart form. So now I can
click the button, the browser (IE 6.0) asks me to save the file and says
the download is complete. I checked the file it is there, BUT the browser
is still waiting on something. I get the "busy icon" any time the mouse
is over the browser, until I click STOP. Am I missing an end tag or
something obvious?
Thanks,
Belinda Giardine
