Force Image Download

How can I force an image download with IE using ASP.net??
Here is the catch: the image I want to force a write with
is located on another web server. I can only reference the
image with a URL.

If the image is on my machine, I use the
response.wrifef ile method. After setting up my headers I
can force an image download. However, I can't get this to
work if I reference the image via a url.

Example: strPath = "http://www.site.com/image.jpg"

response.writef ile(strpath) generates an error.

Is there another method that can write an image to the
browser using a URL reference?

Is it possible to force a download without using the readfile function? My website setup consists of my server that serves the web pages plus a high-speed file server elsewhere on the internet that servers my files. I'm currently using header("Location: abc.com") to redirect my users to this other site but can't force a download. I can get it to work using readfile() but that means the file moves from the high-speed server through my...

How do I force a browser to download a file instead of displaying it? In other words I have a page with MP3 and WMA files on it and I would like for the visitor to download the file instead of play it without having to right-click and save. How can I force the browser to pop up the "save file as" dialog box instead of playing it? I know that I can encapsulate it in a zip file which will download and open WinZip. Thanks

Hi, We have the following in our stylesheet, which acts as a page header: #homepageheader { left: 0px; top: 0px; right: 0px; height: 183px; background-image: url(graphics/header-salmoninbucket.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-color: #B6C7B6; } When you print, however, this doesn't appear.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
