Bery and web developers: question about forcing a download dialog

Posted by SyrDragon Dec 2 '09, 10:07

If I force the browser to open the download dialog using Content-Disposition, is there a way for me to catch if the user clicked 'Open', 'Save', or 'Cancel'? At that point it's kind of out of my hands, right?

Responses:

It would be out of your hands, yes. I think you can set a default file name, though. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 10:11 3
- (I believe that if they click cancel it shuts down the transfer, but aside from that, it looks the same on the server side) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 10:11 2
  - If they cancel, I want to inhibit the server side from doing their record cleanup -- nm - SyrDragon Dec 2, 10:14 1
    - you'd have to monitor the HTTP socket, which might be too low-level for some languages -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 10:21
