The goal is to download files to be stored by the user on disk. The
context application is a graphical editor which allows export of a
document in two formats. At the moment these are txt and ppt files.
They are generated separately so there is no problem with conflicting
MIME types or similar. By
So when I get it right, it is a huge difference if the request is
issued sort of by hand using browser mechanisms like Links or
programmatic paste of URLs by opening a new browser window or IFrame
with a given URL COMPARED TO programmatic issued requests using GWT
rpc and/or RequestBuilder. I
Hi Andreas:
You can certainly send the two files to the server via GWTUpload. As Sri

cannot do that on behalf of the user.
You can receive stuff in the browser from the server. If it's a custom
file structure, you'll have

Hi Andreas:
It's quite possible to ... trigger a download via GWT... You don't say
what MIME type you're wanting. For example, I trigger a download of PDF
document. GWT code cannot handle that, so the trigger is a GWT write to an
IFrame URL. The browser then renders the PDF in that frame.
The point I do not get about this is why the browser does not react to the
content disposition by downloading the file and instead passing the
response back to the ajax-world... snip ... I read a lot about that doing
what i would like to do is not possible but no one really said why.
