How to avoid file download dialog box while opening the attachment using java servlet

1 New Member
In my user screen I have view link, if I click this link it will go to servlet and open one word document. It is opening properly, but while opening the attachment it generate one dialog box like file Open, Save or Cancel button, if I click open after that it is opening the document. But my query is it should not display this dialog box, once I click the link it should open the document automatically using HttpServletResp onse. Can any one help me to avoid the pop up window?

Sample Code

response.setCon tentType("appli cation/msword");

response.setHea der("Content-disposition","a ttachment; filename=testin g.doc");

If I use inline then the file name is not coming, full URL coming as a header.

Please help me.

Regards
Aarthi

I am wanting to allow a client to download a file from a web server and save it on their local PC. The only way that I have found to do this is to use HTTP headers. I am using the code shown below (which I have copied with some variable name changes) from a book on ASP.NET programming. This code sits in the Page_Load event of a file called 'Download.aspx'. In order to send a file to the client, this page is called from another page (using...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
