Not that I know of. The browser handles that. Another alternative is
to have a page that allows them to select open or save. If the open
the are redirected directly to the file. If they click save, you force
a download by modifying the response header and stream the file down.

I'd like to write to a log whenever a visitor to my site downloads a file. So, I'd like the link they click to be to a php 'page' that returns the file. Don't know how to do that! Side Question ... Presumably, the dialog that you see when you download a binary (asking for a 'Save As...' file name) is put up by your browser when it 'sees' non-text data coming back as a response? So, how would you download a text file - and cause...

Well, thanks to Steve Orr, I have that working. However, I still have a few issues. First, the download dialog does not have the name of the file being downloaded in the "File name" field, instead it has the name of the aspx page that have...

How can I get my code to NOT display two "Open/Save/Cancel/More Info" dialog boxes when using the "Response.WriteFile" method to download a file to IE I've asked about this before and didn't get a satisfactory answer (check your browser) so now that I've had the time to set up a reasonable little test that I can post somewhere, I'll try again.

I want to give visitors to my site the option of downloading a generated ..txt file by clicking a button. I know how to generate text files, but how do I cause the browser to pop up one of those dialog boxes that says something like "Do you want to download FILEX.txt?" I want the user to be able to download the file rather than have the file displayed in the browser, because the file will include some characters such as tabs and commas....

Note: You may skip to the end of the article if all you want is the perl code. Introduction Many websites have a form or a link you can use to download a file. You click a form button or click on a link and after a moment or two a file download dialog box pops-up in your web browser and prompts you for some instructions, such as “open” or “save“. I’m going to show you how to do that using a perl script. What You Need Any recent...

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,...
