Languages :: Java :: Setting File Name for the Downloaded Content
By: madanmohan India  Date: 15/06/2005 08:10:38  English  Points: 20 Status: Answered
Quality : Excellent
Hi I am working on Mobile related applications using java.
I have witten a code which is used for download process on the mobile.
The content is getting downloaded properly on to the Mobile Hand Set.
But the problem is the File Name is the name of the jsp i am using.
Suppose my code is in file called "Download.jsp", after successful download of the content it is showing Download.jsp as the file name.

So is there any way that the file name can be changed to the one we wish by setting any headers.

I have tried it by using the folowing but it is working IE not on Mobile Hand Set.

response.setHeader("Cont-Disposition","attachment; filename=" + filename +";");

Can any one help me to solve this.

Thanks,
Madan

Hello 8-)

I must say that I encountered the very same problem when I was generating PDF files on-the-fly. I see different options :

1) try this kind of simple setting :

header('Content-Type: application/pdf'); header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename=contacts.pdf');



2) try this more (over-) complicated one :

Header("Content-Type: application/pdf; name=$locname"); Header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64"); Header("Content-Description: $locname"); Header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=$locname");


Where you'll see I tried all the possible ways to set the "file name" : via the "name=" in content-type, via "content-description" and via the "filename" in content-disposition

3) try to save your file to disk, then send it to the browser/hend-held device using the Java equivalent of a passthru() or file() command in PHP

4) perhaps the first thing to do is to fix your "Cont-Disposition" to read "Content-Disposition" ;-)

you may also find useful to send along the content-length header
