RTC Forums

Hi Danijel

I think this is easily sorted. I have RTC running in a small app and what I do is handle REST style requests like /get/customers?index=a etc etc. Works fine and has been for some time. Now what I have done is added a request which returns a zip file to the user. Now whilst it works the filename is actually named the same as the request URL not the filename I am creating. So example;

http://localhost/get/allcustomers

returns a file called 'allcustomers' (no extension) which when I examine the file it does have the right contents. However the file I am building and ideal would like to return is called 'customers.zip'. Just wondering how I acheive this?

Many Thanks

Gary

Setting the 'Content-Disposition' HTTP Header should do the trick for most new browsers:

TRtcDataServer(Sender).Response['Content-Disposition'] := 'attachment; filename="customers.zip"';

For more info on the 'Content-Disposition' HTTP Header, please check section 19.5.1 here:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec19.html

There is also a topic about this and the use of non-standard ASCII characters on StackOverflow:
