We're trying to store some user-generated reports in the database and then let the user view/download them (both HTML and CSV versions). There are no problems with the HTML one. On Firefox, the CSV one brings up the browser's file download box like it's supposed to, and it even puts the filename I told it to as the default save name ("ShipmentReport" + accountnbr + ".csv"). However, for IE 6, it gets to the point where it asks you if you want to save the file, but then when you click either Open or Save, it pops up with another windows that says:
I've tried changing the content disposition header to "application/octet-stream" for the CSV one, as well as set the content length, but none of that helps. IE 6 keeps popping up with that weird message AFTER you click Open or Save on the file download box, and this is only when it's a Linux webserver (IE acts fine when I'm accessing the
Tomcat on localhost, which is a Windows machine).
Lots of folks must be doing this somehow... What am I doing wrong?
