RE: File download not working

[Dave]

That did it.  Wasn't even thinking about that.  I had it selected not to
save encrypted files to disk and the file I was downloading was encrypted.
It's working nowthanks much.

Re: File download not working

[James Holmes]

Did you recently turn off caching in IE, or do you prevent caching in
the page higher up (with no-cache headers etc)?

RE: File download not working

I'd seen the content-description in a few examples figured I'd give it a
try.  I've also see the attachment formatted with colon and semi-colon as
well as simply attachment="filename".  I started with a semi-colon and no
content-description with the same end.  It is working under firefox, just
not IE7.

Why do you need the Content-Description? It is not a header from RFC 
2616. Your Content-Disposition has a colon instead of a semi-colon. I 
would add some error checking as well:



   
   

   


If that doesn't work use a packetsniffer to see what really gets send to 
the browser.

When you say it won't work on the server... Do you mean from an external
location? Or are you using "localhost" or something on the live server?

Hi, All:
 
I have a simple  in a cfm file. It works on my
local machine but won't work on the server(Windows 2003, with IIS 6). I
got this message that many of you probably have seen before.
 
==
Internet Explorer cannot download  from  Internet
Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is
either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.

I did check the file name and path and they are all correct. I even
placed it in html file and it works in html. Do I need to change some
setting to make it work?

Re: File Download Manager

[Alan Rother]

I don't think you are going to be able to find a CF based soltuion for the
download manager.

I have seen some executable soultions for what you are proposing, in Java or
different flavors of C, but these programs need to be rrunning on the end
users computer for them to work. Since CF is a server side application you
can't control how the end users computer handles the download and stoarge of
the temp file that is created while the file is being downloaded.

Just my 2 cents

Re: File Download

[Tim Painter]

Create a link to a .cfm page that uses the cfcontent tag to download the
file.

e.g Click here to
download the file
(put the filename.ext after the link to the .cfm -- this will make the
browser default to the actual filename as opposed to download.cfm)

download.cfm:

RE: File Download

[Christopher Olive, CIO]

well, if the url is http://blahblah.com/myfile.zip, the browser will ask the
user about saving/opening the file.  unless of course, it's IE, where if it
thinks it knows what kind of file it is, it will try to open it in the
native program.

How do you get a download interface to come up?

Like when i goto a web site and buy software.  This interface pops up and
asks me where i want to save the file...

I have a feeling it is a really basic HTML or java answer.
