how to detect file download in IE

I'm trying to develop a small inhouse file download tool
I need to detect all files downloaded from internetexplore r and display a
custom interface
i.e. when ever the user tries to download a file from IE, then a custom .net
interface needs to be displayed or AT LEAST both

i need to somehow intercept the file download event in IE

You should be able to adapt this

http://www.codeproject.com/useritems...select=1428762

by wiring up a handler for the FileDownload event. The event should fire
just before the file download dialog appears.

Not done it myself, but for lack of a better suggestion, it may be worth a
shot.

Hello, I could use a little help from you Gurus out there. I have an aplication that watches a directory and detects when a PGP encrypted file lands in the directory and starts a process that decrypts it and parses the resulting contents. I am using the FileSystemWatcher's Created event to detect when the file arrives. The problem I have is that these files are large(5-10 megs) and they are being transfered over a limited pipe. I...

I'm writing a console utility to download specific files from web sites based on the command line options. In most cases, I can trap the 404 error when the file isn't available because the operator mistyped the URL or it's offline for whatever reason. The problem I'm running into is with certain sites where the admin has set up a redirect to handle the 404 condition and redirects the request to another page. In this case, the...

Here is an advanced PHP question. Can anyone think of a way to detect the number of bytes written to output when a script is aborted? I am sending a large file to the client, and I want to record how many bytes are actually sent. I can detect abort of the script using a shutdown handler. In the shutdown handler, I tried ob_get_length, but it returns false. I tried to read the server's log file, but it is does not contain the...

Hello, In IE I disable "Automatic prompting for file downloads" which causes the IE information bar to show up when I try to push a file download from an iframe. I want to keep this behaviour.

The file that is going to be downloaded is generated by a rather heavy export, now the export is running twice. Once before the...

Hi all, I googled and read this group but could not find any solution to my problem. I have a page to download big excel files that we 'build' on the server side. When a user click on the link to download, he has no clue that something is going on (and it can take some time). Indeed if the cursor is over some text or some special parts of the page it will not be set to the 'progress' type.
