Questions about save dialog box

[acsooley]

I have been reviewing and testing the code in thread695-824677 and have tested it with a page named test.jsp. When sending the info to test.jsp?filename=adam.xml it will ask me to save test.jsp and not adam.xml. Do anyone know of options to change what info is presented in the dialog box?

thx..

If you had a file in the root directory of your file system (ie "\"), and file called "test.png", and your jsp was called "download.jsp", you would call it like this :

http://server:port/webappName/download.jsp?

path=\&filename=test.png

BTW, that code is not very good because it checks neither if the "path" or "filename" request parameters exist before using them, nor does it check if the file actually exists on the server, nor does it handle errors gracefully.

I understand how the query string works and I have the code cleaned up but,

If you use the following:

http://server:port/webappName/download.jsp?path=\&filename=test.png

it will ask to save download.jsp and not test.png

Well I would have to disagree there - it works fine for me in IE6 and Firefox, using Tomcat 5.0.25 .

Hi

I have similar error with Opera and PHP. It just not show any interest for the [tt]filename[/tt] given in the [tt]Content-disposition[/tt] HTTP header.
