Re: cfheader - thanks
Better yet, make it unobtrusive by using rel="external" in the A-tag.
the needed JS:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("a[rel=external]").each(function(){
this.target="_blank";
});
});

RE: CFHeader Problem: SOLVED (sort of)
Apparently the problem with cfheader is a file size issue. As of CF9, it seems to load the entire file into memory before downloading it, so if the file is too large you get the out of memory. Apparently this was not a problem in previous CF Releases, which explains why this used to work and started giving me issue on the newer sites. To fix this you can increase the JVM Heap Size max, or you can use the solution provided by Ben Nadel at http://www.bennadel.com/blog/1227-Using-ColdFusion-To-Stream-Files-To-The-Client-Without-Loading-The-Entire-File-Into-Memory.htm >From what I read this was not a problem before CF9.

Re: cfheader Content-Range
> Does anyone know how to get Content-Range returned as a header response when > the request has "Range: bytes= " in it? > I added but do not get the >Content-Range back. CF, like most application servers in my experience, will not honor things like this - request headers that control behavior, HTTP verbs that control behavior, etc. It's up to the developer to do this. You would have to read the range in the request, and generate a response to serve just that range, and return the appropriate headers, etc, yourself. A common example of this that I run into all the time is the use of Last-Modified in HTTP responses, and support for If-Modified-Since HTTP request headers.

Re: cfheader and foreign characters
>>I'm trying to save a text file that has foreign characters. You simply cannot specify a charset in a plain .txt file. A text file is simply a string of characters in ASCII. Unlike an HTML page, it does not contain any header to specify a character set. If it contains special characters above 127, they will be interpreted in the default character set of the operating system. For instance under Windows, il will probably be Window 1252 equivalent to ISO 8859-1, ie. République. If the OS does not consider characters above 127, it will show an ? for every character above 127, ie. R?publique On an Apple computer, it will be different. If it is actually encoded in UTF-8, it will still be read as plain ASCII characters, thus things like République. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:342514 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

If you want to instruct the browser to save a file instead of trying to render it to the user, you need to set a content disposition in combination with a MIME type of application/octet-stream. See RFC 2616 19.5.1. Once your file is placed on the harddisk of the client computer, it is up to the used application on the client computer to infer what charset is in it. Some applications will just presume it is the environment charset, some will presume it is a specific one (like ISO-8859-1), some will try to do some logic.

RE: cfheader/cfheader not working as expected
I don't remember if you posted any code, but I get by this with the following: Before All that I build the spreadsheet and put it into Variables.mySpreadsheetVar. What version of CF are you on? Are you using HTML, CFSpreadsheet, or some other method to generate the spreadsheet? I had an issue similar to what you had before, but I started building the spreadsheets using POI then when they get pushed to the browser they are in true spreadsheet format instead of html pretending to be xls (or xlsx). Sometimes the browser would see the xls extension but would then check the content and see html and act weirdly. By using the poi I not only get rid of those problems but it also got rid of the Excel "Not in the same format" popup. If you can consider this option let me know and I may be able to help a little. Also, do you have access to the server itself? I upgraded the POI that comes with ColdFusion to the latest version and I can do a lot more extra stuff.

For obvious security reasons, you generally can't make things happen on a client's machine from the web server. You can provide suggestions to the client (such as the proper disposition of content) but that's it. If you need programs to automatically open, etc, you need client-side functionality (ActiveX, Java, AIR, etc) to make that happen.

You have a CFCONTENT after the CFHEADER to actually serve the file,
right? CFHEADER doesn't actually serve the file.

Re: cfheader to create post data.
CFHEADER amends the headers of the server response. Post data would be part of client request instead. For CF to make a client request you'd have to use CFHTTP type Post, and use CFHTTPPARAM to send the post data, i.e. type=file.

Re: cfheader filename problem
Actually double quotes are ok too (probably preferable), as per the example in the spec: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec19.html You'd need to escape the double quotes: ""some file.etx"" Some sort of quote is necessary in any case, as the spec states that a quoted string is expected for the filename: - content-disposition = "Content-Disposition" ":" disposition-type *( ";" disposition-parm ) disposition-type = "attachment" | disp-extension-token disposition-parm = filename-parm | disp-extension-parm filename-parm = "filename" "=" quoted-string disp-extension-token = token disp-extension-parm = token "=" ( token | quoted-string ) An example is Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="fname.ext" - On 7/19/07, Ben Nadel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Try wrapping the filename in single quotes: > > value="attachment;filename='#fileName#'"> > > > .. > Ben Nadel > Certified Advanced ColdFusion MX7 Developer > www.bennadel.com > > Need ColdFusion Help? > www.bennadel.com/ask-ben/ > > -Original Message- > From: Dave Francis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2007 1:23 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: cfheader filename problem > > Hi, > > I'm trying to download files with this: > > > > value="attachment;filename=#fileName#"> > > > > > > Whenever the filename contains spaces, the "What do you want > to do with this file" prompt truncates the filename.

Re: cfheader filename problem
Dave, I am not totally sure here but I think replacing it with %20 would be the only way to keep it from truncating.

Re: cfheader breaks my xml
Hey Andy - I just spent the better part of the day (I'm embarrassed to admit) debugging a problem I was having with one of my XML AJaX requests that used the code I included in this thread. Although I looked at every other piece of code before I got there, it ended up being an omission in this code so I thought I'd update the list (and its archives) with what I found. Short version: I was trying to return XML for parsing via JavaScript. What I wasn't doing, though, was specifying the character set for that returning XML. Once my returning XML contained so much as an accented "e" the functionality failed catastrophically. To save anyone else the time and frustration, this fixed the problem: ...myXML... Moral: Be smarter than I am and ALWAYS specify a character set.

RE: cfheader/cfcontent, auto-downloading a file, and IE woes
Let me guess, the users reporting this are on XP SP2? And maybe, not sure, you're in a frame? If I'm remembering right, it's a known bug in IE on that version of windows. And if I'm remembering right again, the only solution we came up with was to set the target for your download to window.parent.name. Don't know why this helps; we just bushwacked, trying to get IE to not be thinking about that window. HTH, sorry to be vague.

Once you use CFCONTENT to serve a file, that file is what will be sent to
the browser. If the user chooses to cancel the download, the browser is in
charge of figuring out how to present that information to the user.
You may be able to build a frames-based workaround.

No, you can't do that. However, you could launch the download page from another page using JavaScript client-side redirection. This would let you show the HTML title of the first page in the title bar of the browser.

RE: cfheader question
I think you are on the right track with the JS. As far as I understand it, popup blockers don't block popups if they are created directly from a link (I could be wrong here). So this could do it:
function timedreload(inRes) {
win = window.open("index.cfm?pgid=download&resID=" +
inRes,"download","width=10,height=10,scrollbars=0,resizable=0");
setTimeout("window.location.reload();",6100);
setTimeout("win.close();",6000);
}
You have to assign the new window to a variable (win) in order to be able to close it later. Also, if you reload the page, it can't close the popup anymore. So you will have to close the popup first and then reload the page. I have tested none of this. Alternatively, you could just call the download page in the href and schedule a JS reload in the onclick >
function timedreload() {
setTimeout("window.location.reload();",3000);
}
This way you don't have a popup and the page still reloads.

Re: CFHEADER and IE showing wrong file and FireFox 0 Bytes
It is well known that IE is broken. MS made it gues the content of the response based on the first X bytes instead of following RFC 2616 19.5.1.

Shawn, You shouldn't see the filename in the URL bar, you are still making a request to that .cfm template. The filename comes into place when you open the file in word or when you click 'save', then that filename will be used (instead of the .cfm template). /Hugo - Hugo Ahlenius E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Project Officer Phone:+46 8 230460 UNEP GRID-Arendal Fax: +46 8 230441 Stockholm Office Mobile: +46 733 467111 WWW: http://www.grida.no - | -Original Message- | From: Shawn Grover [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | Sent: Saturday, January 10, 2004 23:07 | To: CF-Talk | Subject: CFHeader/CFContent woes. | | I know this is a relatively common question on the list, but | the common answers/solutions just aren't working for me. | | I've built a testing page to isolate my problem with the | following code: | | | file="c:\inetpub\wwwroot\app\fax_tenant.doc" deletefile="No"> | | The problem is that no matter what I do to the cfheader line, | I NEVER see "fax_tenant.doc" as the requested filename.

RE: CFHeader/CFContent woes.
No luck on that. I've worked around the problem for now by opening a new window and directing it at the UNC path to the file in question. The application is intended for an Intranet, so this should be a resonable solution. Thanks anyways.

RE: CFHeader/CFContent woes.
The final code I have written is similar, but to isolate the problem, I have
created a "simplified" page with just the CFHeader and CFContent lines. The
problem is that the cfheader seems to be ignored by IE. The mime type
appears to be working fine thus far.

I know this is a relatively common question on the list, but the common
answers/solutions just aren't working for me.
I've built a testing page to isolate my problem with the following code:
file="c:\inetpub\wwwroot\app\fax_tenant.doc" deletefile="No">
The problem is that no matter what I do to the cfheader line, I NEVER
see
"fax_tenant.doc" as the requested filename. I see the name of the .cfm
file
(which is word_test.cfm in this case). I wouldn't really care if the
thing
would at least display or save the word file.
I've tried changing the cfheader line to read VALUE="inline;
filename=fax_tenant.doc", and VALUE="filename=fax_tenant.doc" - both had
absolutely no effect.
I've blew away my browser and server cache, and the compliled java
classes
for the page, and still saw no difference.
I've tested this on two other workstations, and they saw the same
behavior.
So it's not workstation specific.
I'm stumped. I have another application on the same server that does
the
same two lines (with application specific values of course), and it runs
fine.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? The server is CFMX 6.0, and an
upgrade to 6.1 is not an option at this time.

RE: CFHEADER/CFCONTENT excel + serverMX + SSL
Just a few suggestions Does It work if you just specify attachment instead of inline/attachment? What if you give it a dummy mime type e.g. Does it prompt you to open or download it? Finally out of curiosity is there any reason why you have so many double quotes around the filename? HTH Kola -Original Message- From: olivier [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 11 September 2002 18:06 To: CF-Talk Subject: CFHEADER/CFCONTENT excel + serverMX + SSL Hello All, Here is a an interesting issue ... We used to have the following 2 lines of code work just great to open a TABLE-based report in Excel with any IE version and CFserver5: After migrating to Coldfusion Server MX, this is not working anymore with any IE (actually it only works with one IE5.5 in the whole company, but can't find out where the configuration difference could be). It comes up with the message "Internet Explorer cannot download...ex.cfm?action=report&type=ship". It works fine with Netscape though. I tried to use another version provided on BF's book, but still have the exact same issue. Now, if I change the URL from https to http, it works fine on IE !!... Strange hu ? But the https version used to work just fine with the same cfm code on CF Server 5, and any version of IE ! After playing around with it, it looks like excel is trying to open the file named "https://the.site/file.cfm?action=theaction"; instead of having IE downloading the content first, and then handing it over to excel with the filename specified in the CFHEADER ... I tried: * changing the settings on the Windows File Types, forcing download, or browse in the same window, etc... didn't help * looked over the settings of IE 5.5 on the only computer where this work... couldn't find anything... * tried to remove the extension on the "filename=" in the CFHEADER, didn't work... * imported the SSL CA certificate on the workstation, didn't help... Conclusion so far: CFserver5 + HTTP + IE = no problem CFserver5 + HTTPS + IE = no problem CFserverMX + HTTP + IE = no problem CFserverMX + HTTPS + IE = problem All tests have been done on Win2K & XP workstations.
