Hello Kranthi,
supposed you have an object "data" with data loaded from the desired server file you can build a WOResponse object and return it as result of a given direct action.
        r.setHeader(data.getMimetype(),"content-type");
        r.setHeader("attachment;
filename=\""+data.getFilename()+"\"","content-disposition");
  if(data.stringData != null) // data is in a string
   r.appendContentString(data.stringData.toString());
  else // data is in an NSData instance
         r.appendContentData(data.getRawData());

Hi!

We use the same headers for download and that work just fine on almost al borwsers and plattforms except for Safari 1.1 and IE5.2.3 on osx. We use content-type "application/octet-stream".

In addition to the headers you set above we use

  response.setHeader(
      Integer.toString(getHtmlcode().length()), "content-length");
  response.disableClientCaching();
  response.removeHeadersForKey("Cache-Control");
  response.removeHeadersForKey("pragma");

The content is html (full html for a html-file which want to be downloaded to the user).

In Safari and IE the html is shown in the browser instead of beeing downloaded as a file.

We have also tried

 response.setHeader(
   "application/octet-stream; name=\"" + getFilename() + "\"", "content-type");

(ref. <url:http://wodev.spearway.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/WODev.woa/2/wa/Main?wikiPage=ReturningFileToBrowser>) with same result.


Any ideas how to solve this for Safari and IE on osx?
