Hi,
Does anyone know how to make a redirection to a file from a servlet, in a
way that the browser opens the "File Save as" dialog box immediately no
matter the file's extension ? Every time i try to redirect to a text file
(even if the extension is .xyz) it shows the file on screen instead of
allowing the person to save immediately.
My servlet exports a bit of content of a database to a text file and as
soon as the text file is created, i want the users browser to open the
"File Save as" dialog box. Don't know how, though.
I'm pretty sure it has something to do with MIME types.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Carlos.
