Are you using PHP on the server side?
You will use HTTP Service and post to a server script which will then cause
a download to happen.
Sample PHP echo service for file download:
<?
if($_POST['filename']=="" || $_POST['filedata']=="") exit(); //no filename
or data specified
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=\"".$_POST['filename']."\"");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Type: application/download");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: ".( strlen( $_POST['filedata'] ) + 1 ) );
header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
echo $_POST['filedata'];
exit();
?>

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] how to create a file and then download
this part is quite simple. i use the httpService to get the data and display
it to mx:Grid, which can be changed based on some filtering info.
now i need to download the filtered data list. so how can i simulate a
download?
thanks Seth.
