On Netscape everything works as expected if I set the MIME type to
application/rtf but still doesn't work on Internet Explorer 5.0. This
leads me to think it is the selection of my MIME type. Basically I am
trying to download plain text.
I only get one prompt box on Netscape by the way.
Any ideas on the proper MIME type or why Internet Explorer is confused
other than it is from Microsoft.
Thanks

I have tried the following code and am getting rather strange
behaviour.
filename = "Download.qif";
inResponse.setContentType("text/plain");
inResponse.setHeader("Content-disposition",
"attachment;filename=\"" + filename + "\"");
inResponse.addHeader("Content-description", "My Description");
ServletOutputStream outStream = inResponse.getOutputStream();
downloadProcessor.writeData(outStream, transactionList,
downloadData.getAccountNumber(), accountType, fromDate,
toDate);
outStream.flush();
outStream.close();
When I get the box the first time if I select to download to a file
the
filename is the same as my struts do action and the file contains the
html from the screen that I am currently viewing.
If I choose instead to view the data I then get another selection box
and if I then choose to save to a file I get the correct data.
Any ideas on what I am missing
Thanks

The "always ask..." checkbox for me is checked and greyed. If I
choose
save to disk, then it saves fine and exits, but if I choose to open
with an
application, then the box comes up twice. Now, if webservers can
create
the proper headers for downloads, I should be able to as well. I just
don't know the proper "open sesame" Tom
