Hi list, Maybe I forgot something important. All the things I mentioned in previous email is tested on my own lighttpd server, with default configuration.
As I try with the real server, I found the http response has a head "Content-Disposition: attachment" when refreshing with the url of "http://www.example.com/file.jar";. The result is, the browser on my PC is directly starting downloading. The npapi plugin has not been invoked at all. I will try it on my target board.
