RE: force a download - .txt file
This method forces the download, but names the file index.cfm instead of the actual filename that you are downloading. Anyone know how to name it properly?

force a download - .txt file
Hi everyone. I am trying to force a save as box in IE when a user clicks on a link that creates a .txt file. What keeps happening is that the browser will open the .txt file and display it - when what I really want is for the user to be prompted with a save as box. Has anyone figured out a way to do this? Thanks very much.

RE: force a download - .txt file
You could serve the file up with CFCONTENT and use a Content-disposition header to mark the content as an attachment (giving you the Save As box). This would require the file to be called via a cfm file though, instead of a straight link to the text file. Perhaps there is a better way.. HTH -R -Original Message- From: Wurst, Keith D.
