Sorry, but no one seems to know from my normal sources.
I want to have MSIE users click on a link, that goes
to a cgi. I would then like this cgi to output a file.
Any file... maybe foo.txt or cow.exe or gun.tar.gz.
The secret is I just want it to go straight to a
save as... screen. No open in current location junk,
and certainly I don't want it to be displayed in the
browser. But MSIE does this.
Currently I do:
Content-Type: Application/octet-stream
Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="$file"
where file is the name of my file, say foo.txt
In Netscape, this works pretty well.
In MSIE, the text file is displayed within the page
blatantly ignoring my headers as it often does.
if it is a tar.gz it asks me if I want to open it
from the current location, or save it. I would really
prefer just to save it, like netscape. Is this
possible? Does anyone know how?
Thanks - Ant
PS When is the next meeting?
