FIX: Content-Disposition: Does not Force File Download Dialog (182315)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer (Programming) 4.01
This article was previously published under Q182315 SYMPTOMS
According to the Web site http://www.nic.mil/ftp/rfc/rfc2183.txt setting a
Content-Disposition header with type "attachment" when returning a file to
a client, should force the client to prompt the user for input. Typically
this input would indicate whether the user wishes to view or store the
file. Internet Explorer 4.01 may attempt to open the returned file without
prompting the user.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. This bug was corrected in Internet Explorer 5.
