B4J Question B4J Webapp :How to Prevent Reader From Opening PDFs in explorers

[markcasio]

Hi,

Is there a way to configure jserver to download my pdf file instead of showing a preview ?
I used content-disposition without result.
<meta name="content-disposition" content="inline;filename=testfile.pdf">

added hanlde using resp.SetHeader("Content-disposition", $"attachment; filename=${myfileName}"$)
Still no result , but I'm getting close.

Have you tried also setting the content type as octet-stream? (in addition to your SetHeader)

resp.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"

Problem solved.
Thank you Alwaysbusy, after adding the contenttype the file can be saved using the dialog.

This worked for me:

I understand monster67 , inline is opening the file and attachment is downloading it. But without setting the contenttype my file won't download.
