Thank's to Roger Mosher! This works... /korre -----Original Message----- From: Roger Mosher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: den 15 februari 2001 13:43 To: Orion-Interest Subject: Re: MIME-types [off topic] K. Granted I am not distributing XML so I set the content type to "application/zip", but the trick to get the SAVE AS dialog for me was the Content-Dispostion header. My code (in a servlet) goes something like this... response.setContentType("application/zip"); response.setContentLength(len); response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=\"somename.ext \" "); Works most of the time except certain buggy versions of IE 5.5 for which a patch is available from Microsoft (so I believe).
