Subject: Re: downloading a file via servlet
here's an extract from the code I use. check the comments, you should be
able to figure it out.
// Set the filename
// IE4 will use content disposition filename only if it doesn't
recognise the
// mime type by "sniffing"! Setting mime type explicitly to "crap/crap"
doesnt work
// this especially affects HTML .... obviously!
// IE5 will use content disposition filename, but for HTML only
"attachment" seems
// to work - if "inline" it still gets the filename from TITLE tag. Both
attachment
// and inline work for zip files...
// NS4 uses the filename but ignores the type (attachment or inline),
thus you can use
// the crap/crap mime type trick to fool it into showing a save as box
String lType = "inline";
// if the user is trying to say this is an attachment
if (iUseAttachmentDisposition)
{
lType = "attachment";
// this will fool NS4 into giving the user the save as box!
// and won't really do anything for IE5. Also, IE4 ignores it...
usually...
iContentType = "application/x-max-unknown";
}
// strip any pathname
String lFileName = iContentName;
int lLastSlashPos = lFileName.lastIndexOf( '/' );
if (lLastSlashPos != -1)
lFileName = lFileName.substring( lLastSlashPos + 1 );
// NOTE: quotes around filename will confuse <= ie4sp1 (fixed in sp2)
iResponse.setHeader( HttpHeaders.sCONTENT_DISPOSITION, lType + ";
filename=\"" + lFileName + "\"");
