Validating a successful file download.

[smugg]

I have an ASP page that does two things; writes to a log the users access to the page from a series of session variables created elsewhere on the site and then launches a file download. I want to capture whether the users selected "open" "save" or "cancel" and append that action to my log. Here is a snippet of the download code:


<%
' Force File Download
DIM f, fso, objStream
DIM strFileName, strFilePath, strFileSize, strFileType

strFileName=&quot;Setup.exe&quot;
strFilePath= server.mappath(&quot;/PathToMyFile&quot

set fso=createobject(&quot;scripting.filesystemobject&quot
set f=fso.getfile(strfilepath)
strFileSize = f.size
set f=nothing: set fso=nothing
Const adTypeBinary = 1
Response.Clear
Set objStream = Server.CreateObject(&quot;ADODB.Stream&quot
objStream.Open
objStream.Type = adTypeBinary
objStream.LoadFromFile strFilePath
strFileType = &quot;application/exe&quot; ' change to the correct content type for your file
Response.AddHeader &quot;Content-Disposition&quot;, &quot;attachment; filename=&quot; & strFileName
Response.AddHeader &quot;Content-Length&quot;, strFileSize
Response.Charset = &quot;UTF-8&quot;
Response.ContentType = strFileType
Response.BinaryWrite objStream.Read
Response.Flush
objStream.Close
Set objStream = Nothing
%>

I left the log generation stuff out of the snippet, but you get the idea. Any thoughts?

the &quot;open&quot; &quot;save&quot; or &quot;cancel&quot; are live actions so if you can capture those events at all you'ld have to capture it with javascript and then append the captured event to your logfile.
