Andre came up with a good reason and here is mine: I work for the brazilian government that wants to keep track of people who download certain specific files. It also wants to send emails to the ones that at least started the download procces of these files. So, for this reason, there is no interest at all to send emails for those that canceled the download process.
I am looking forward for a solution because the way my code is now is wrong. It is logging everybody no matter which button they pressed (open, save or cancel). Once more, any suggestion is more than welcome. Siomara -----Mensagem original----- De: André Warnier Para: Tomcat Users List Enviada em: 11/07/2009 06:24 Assunto: Re: Problems downloading files.

At the server side, you would want an absolute, no-complaints-possible, trace that the download did occur succesfully. Something you can wiggle under the customer's nose when they complain about the bill. All the more reason to have some active component at the client side, acknowledging the download back to the server, with some unique timestamp, id, etc.. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
