I'm trying to build a tray for users to download their selected items.
I was wondering if anyone knows how to response.redire ct a file (for
the user to download) and check to see if the download was
successful/unsuccessful, then have the asp page reload itself based on
the result?
e.g. something like this:
if Session("FileNa me") <> "" Then 'a file is ready for download
response.redire ct (Session("FileN ame"))
** check if download successful, then set
** the tray info accordingly and...
response.redire ct thispage.asp
end if
Of course the second response.redire ct never gets called, is there any
other way I can do this?

Ok, but asp can see whats going on at the server right? If I were to
use a Stream, say:
<%
Response.Binary Write objStream.Read
If (objStream.EOS = false) Then
download_comple ted = "False"
Else if (objStream.EOS = true) Then
download_comple ted = "True"
End If
objStream.Close
Set objStream = Nothing
%>
Is this a possible method for checking if a download was completed?
Is there a better way? ASP can't see what's going on with the client's hard drive...

No, the fact that a download has completed, or its current progress, is
still indicated by the CLIENT's system, not the server's. Is there a better way?
"Click here when download is complete."
If you think people are going to lie about it, maybe you're targeting the
wrong users. :-)

Thanx, I kinda suspected as much...looks like "click here..." is what
its gonna have to be. :) Is this a possible method for checking if a download was completed?

I have some issues with HTTP Headers and I was hoping for
some pointers or references to good articles.
Here is the problem.
I have 6 .aspx pages, each page contains a common .ascx.
This ascx serves two purposes, 1. it contains a tab strip
with response.redirects to navigate to the other pages;
2. I authenticate the user by check to see if a cookie
exists, if it doesn't I redirect to a login screen.

Hello,
Is there a way to "cancel" a response.Redirect? For example, in the code
below, could I insert anything in the Catch statement that would cancel the
redirect and resume flow after the try-catch?
Try
Response.Redirect(strPage)
Catch ex1 As Threading.ThreadAbortException
ex1 = ex1

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
