Hi,
I have a servlet which generates a comma separated value(CSV) file and the browser will prompt a dialog so the user can save the output file to a preferred location. It works fine on Netscape Navigator but when I use IE6 I got the following error
"Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable ro cannot be found. Please try again later".
I use the following statement setContentType( "text/comma-separated" ) and I can get around it with setContentType("text/plain");
but the browser will just display the plain text instead of a dialog box.
What MIME type shall I use so a dialog will prompt in both IE and Netscape.
Thanks,
