how to detect file download in IE

I'm trying to develop a small inhouse file download tool
I need to detect all files downloaded from internetexplore r and display a
custom interface
i.e. when ever the user tries to download a file from IE, then a custom .net
interface needs to be displayed or AT LEAST both

i need to somehow intercept the file download event in IE

If you're talking about developing a Asp.Net web site with this
functionality, then what you could do is have the user directed to a
download link via a button. This way, when the user click on a button to
download the file, it will post back and run the button click event method
where you can do what you like.

Hello, I could use a little help from you Gurus out there. I have an aplication that watches a directory and detects when a PGP encrypted file lands in the directory and starts a process that decrypts it and parses the resulting contents. I am using the FileSystemWatcher's Created event to detect when the file arrives. The problem I have is that these files are large(5-10 megs) and they are being transfered over a limited pipe. I...

I'm writing a console utility to download specific files from web sites based on the command line options. In most cases, I can trap the 404 error when the file isn't available because the operator mistyped the URL or it's offline for whatever reason. The problem I'm running into is with certain sites where the admin has set up a redirect to handle the 404 condition and redirects the request to another page. In this case, the...

Here is an advanced PHP question. Can anyone think of a way to detect the number of bytes written to output when a script is aborted? I am sending a large file to the client, and I want to record how many bytes are actually sent. I can detect abort of the script using a shutdown handler. In the shutdown handler, I tried ob_get_length, but it returns false. I tried to read the server's log file, but it is does not contain the...

Hello, In IE I disable "Automatic prompting for file downloads" which causes the IE information bar to show up when I try to push a file download from an iframe. I want to keep this behaviour. When clicking "Download file..." on the information bar, a postback occurs. I would like to detect this postback. The file that is going to be downloaded is generated by a rather heavy export, now the export is running twice. Once before the...

I have a large install file (an exe) on my web server that people download and install from. Looking at my log files, I see a lot of people downloading it, but no way to tell for sure if they completed the download or cancelled out before it completed. Is there any function in PHP that would allow the web server to send the file and detect a completion or cancellation? Or perpahs a javascript/PHP method? Any help would be greatly...

Hi all, I googled and read this group but could not find any solution to my problem. I have a page to download big excel files that we 'build' on the server side. When a user click on the link to download, he has no clue that something is going on (and it can take some time). Indeed if the cursor is over some text or some special parts of the page it will not be set to the 'progress' type.

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...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
