Hi,
I generate links to attachments that are streamed to the client but
stored in a database. The hyperlink is custom and makes a direct action
call to query for the attachment. The direct action generates response
by adding content-type and content-disposition to the header and adding
a stream for the attachment content. The URLs seem to work for several
browsers (Navigator, Mozilla, Safari, Camino, and IE Mac) but not for IE
Windows. On the browsers that work the attachment gets downloaded with
the correct name and is handled properly. IE for Windows blocks the
download and complains that it has an unrecognized type and it displays
the filename as just a long string of digits instead of what I assigned
in the content-disposition. IE Windows users are complaining to me and
some refuse to use Netscape. Does anyone know what I need to do to
satisfy IE to recognize the content?
thanks,
-tom
