I know in IE8 there is a security setting that can be turned off to remove this "feature" as they would probably call it. Unfortunately that will require all of your users to make sure they turn this setting off.
What I have done to get around this is to return the URL to the user and place it in a DialogBox in an anchor allowing the user to click it and the browser will download it as expected. This is unfortunately a nuance for your users but its better than the download being blocked. Hope that helps, Pat On Feb 18, 10:15 pm, Geoffrey Wiseman <geoffrey.wise...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have a GWT application that uses GWT-RPC to send data back and forth > to the server.
