Download with Netscape

I use "header" to force download of text data on Windows desktops.

header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=$file_ name");

$file_name is a file name like "my_file.tx t".

It works well with IE6. With Netscape7, the Save dialog box has "PHP" set as
file type, which causes the file to be downloaded by default to
"my_file.txt.ph p".

It can of course be changed manually in the Save dialog box, but has anyone
an idea where this "PHP" setting comes from?

Thanks.

Pierre

I am using the script as below, but there is a problem, in Netscape, and Mozilla Firebird, a .php is added to the filename when the user is prompted to save, it's ok in Internet Explorer and Opera though: $filename="/home/myUserName/filename.exe"; header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=filename.exe"); header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream"); header("Content-Length: ".@filesize("$filename")); readfile("$filename");

I have written a pair of scripts that are supposed to work together to display an index of files and then, upon the user choosing the files (with checkboxes on an HTML form submitted to itself), tar/gzip the file and send it to them. To this end the first script performs an exec() call and generates the archive (it's a random number but we'll call it foo.bar.tar.gz) and then writes a META tag into the page after it submits the HTML form...

Hi Everyone, I was wondering if anyone has ever successfully used SA-FileUp's download feature. I am being forced to change from "ASPSmartUpload" as the server I am moving everything to is using SAFileUp version 3.2. I ran through their documentation and found a section called "secure download", unfortunately, their examples do not work at all! On Netscape 7, the file "pretends" to download (after changing the file

I am trying to allow a user to view a PDF in a new window. I currently have this working using the following: <a href="./pdf.do?parameter=01121980" target="top"><b>pdf</b></a> The problem with the above solution is the back/forward buttons and all the other browser options. Because of this, I am trying to get the following solution to work: <a href="#" onclick="popUp('./pdf.do?parameter=01121980')"><b>pdf</b></a>

Hello, I have a web site that has an audio file on it that I make available for download. Right now I'm using the "right-click/save-as" approach. This is because left-clicking the link to the audio file initiates client-side streaming/playing of the audio file. Is there a way with Javascript to make a left-click trigger a download of the file instead? BTW, I don't want to have convert the mp3 file to winzip to make this happen,...

I'm trying to find the best way to allow web visitors to download text files (.txt, .wri & .zap file extensions). I'm having some luck. I say some because the open/save box opens with IE but not Netscape. On Netscape rather than give the user the save option it simply displays the file. I also see problems on the mac platform - no save box - it displays the file as in netscape. Is there a universally accepted way of doing this sort of...

I'm trying to script a download counter that will display the total number on the download page without server-side scripting. Below is my very incomplete beginning.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...
