Downloading a CSV file

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I've made a program that creates a .csv file and offer it for downloading.

If a user uses Internet Explorer 6 to download the file and it chooses to right-click then "Save as..." from the context menu, the file is downloaded right.

But if the user just clicks or hits enter on the link for downloading that file, the user is asked what he wants to do, to save or open the file, and if he choses that he wants to save it, that window remains open and it doesn't ask for the name of the file.

I've used lwp-request (from ActivePerl) to see which are the HTTP headers received. Please tell me what should I change, add or remove in order to be able to download that file by just clicking on the link.

Thank you.

The headers are:
