Informationbar popping up on download...

[koraykazgan]

Hi all,

I have written an ASP.Net 2.0 Web Application. I am using WinXP Pro SP 2 and have IIS 5.1 on my system, where the Application is developed.

After finishing implementation I have installed the app on an Win2003 Server with IIS 6 running.

In one of my pages I have a button, when clicked, I am sending a file to the client, so the SaveAs dialog pops up and the user can download the sent file.

This is the code I wrote to send the file to the user:

page.Response.AppendHeader("Content-Type", "application/msword");
page.Response.AppendHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename="aaa.doc");
page.Response.Charset = "";
 
page.Response.Write(FileContent);
page.Response.End();
 

When I call the application on the test system (W2k3/IIS6), the internet explorer information bar popps up, asking if the download should really started. But with the same browser, when I start the download on the WinXP/IIS5 system, no confirmation is made.

I have tested this with different browsers and from different computers in different networks. The only thing I saw was that it asks for confirm on Win2K3/IIS6 and on WinXP/IIS5.1 it won't.

So I don't know if this is a programming issue or a server configuration issue.
But I hope that you can help me with my problem, and tell me what the difference between the two is.

Thanks for help,
Regards...

moved to .NET forum, although it might actually be an IIS issue.
