content-disposition

I want to perform a javascript xhr request for a png file from a C# webserver which I wrote. Here is the code I use var imgUrl = "http://localhost:8085/AnImage.png?" + now; var request = new XMLHttpRequest(); request.open('GET', imgUrl, false); request.send(); // this is in a try/catch On the server-side I send back the file and add a Content-Disposition header. I obtain the following response I made sure that Content-Disposition was attached in the headers after the Content-Type (the screenshot is from Firebug, which appends in alphabetical order). The results is that no dialog box is

I am outputting a PDF file in a Web browser (IE8) HttpContext.Response.writefile(fileName) and it works great. When I try to save the file, it will give me the name of the ashx handler as a default. I would like to actually pass the real name. I tried to add header information as follow: context.Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + fileInfo.Name); And it works but I do not want the user to have to choose between open and save, i want the file to open normally and if the user chooses to save it then the dialog would give him/her the default filename. I tried also:

So I have a downloads page where you click a link, it opens /downloads/download/randomhash randomhash is found in the db, i increment a download counter, and then redirect to the actual file e.g. /uploads/2012/file.png. Everything works except for the redirect doing what I'd like it to do. I'm not sure why it's not working... header("Location: " . $row->uri); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$row->name"); On the first load of the file, it has the appropriate content-disposition header (in firebug), but it doesn't prompt the file to be downloaded (which it should, right??). Any

I know how to make the download occur, when the download happens it appends the html from the web page that causes the download. How do I filter out the HTML? I understand that you're trying to output some stream for download from PHP page? If so, then don't output that content from the page that contains HTML, but redirect to separate php page that outputs only the download stream, with headers if necessary. If I understand you correctly it's a common problem. I solved it by using ob_start at the beginning of my index.php (start/root/entry file) before ANY output occures and for the download

I am returning a stream in some response setting the appropriate content-type header. The behavior I'm looking for is this: If the browser is able to render content of the given content type then it should display it in the browser window. If the browser doesn't know how to render the content, then it should display the "save as" dialog where the filename should be the one provided in the response. The problem is that if I set the Content-Disposition header with: "attachment; filename="myfile.txt"" the browser will always display the "save as" dialog. If I don't set Content-Disposition , the

I am using HttpContext object implemented in HttpHandler child to download a file, when I have non-ascii characters in file name it looks weird in IE whereas it looks fine in Firefox. below is the code:- context.Response.ContentType = ".cs"; context.Response.AppendHeader("Content-Length", data.Length.ToString()); context.Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", String.Format("attachment; filename={0}",filename)); context.Response.OutputStream.Write(data, 0, data.Length); context.Response.Flush(); when I supply 'ß' 'ä' 'ö' 'ü' 'ó' 'ß' 'ä' 'ö' 'ü' 'ó' in file name field it looks

I was wondering whether it is possible to force a browser (at least Chrome) to download a data:text/plain URL. Chrome does download binary URLs (e.g. data:application/zip;base64,... ), but it does not download files that can be viewed inside the browser (such as text files). What I already tried with no luck so far is this: data:text/plain;content-disposition=attachment;filename=test.txt;... But it seems like I cannot add headers like this. Is there any way to make Chrome download a data:text/plain,... URL? As of now, it has been made possible to use <a download> in Chrome. Using dispatchEvent
