Hey all
Was just wondering what others have used on there e-commerce sites
to manage digital downloads, for instance how to track if a user
succesfully downloaded a complete file from you (what happens if
there connection drops halfway through a download)????
Is there something in php / javascript that could do this -
javascript:oncomplete_ofdownloadfile send response to server
Anyone have any ideas?
Your views / suggestions are appreciated.
Chris
Chris:
Just a suggestion -- many times I've download digital stuff I
purchased. In most cases, the seller just provides a url and I
download as I may. If the connection drops, or if I interrupt it, or
it doesn't work for some reason or another, then I am free to try
again. If after repeated failures, then I'll contact the seller and
find another means to get what I purchased.
However, in none of many downloads I've experienced (from memory)
showed any signs that the download had been successfully completed.
So, based upon that -- I wouldn't worry about it.
