It's tricky to save a file in both browsers. I do it with this code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class Uloz extends HttpServlet
{
public void doGet (HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException
{
String filename = "myfilename";
PrintWriter out;
if(request.getHeader("user-agent").indexOf("MSIE")!= -1)
{
response.setContentType("application/x-my-type");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","inline;filename="+filename);
}
else
{
response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","inline;filename="+filename+".txt");
}
out = response.getWriter();
try {
//-----
//send contetnt of the file to output here
//-----
} catch (Exception ex) {out.println(ex.getMessage());ex.printStackTrace(out);}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You cannot give the extension ".txt" (or .csv) to MSIE, otherwise
it will display the file in its window.
