Orarrp, IE file download dialog screen always asks before opening

orarrp 1.3.4 working, but under IE5.5, the File Download dialog
screen is activated when the web.show_document(<url>,'_BLANK')
call is made, where the extension of the file is ".rrpa".
The checkbox which reads "Always ask before opening this type of
file" is checked and disabled. This means that user intervention
is always required.
When I open the .rrpa file directly in IE (the file is available
on a locally attached drive -- that is, not as a URL at this
point), IE opens and immediately prints the .rrpa file.
Obviously the restrictions here are based on internet security
settings, however, I've been unable to overcome this problem.
There do not seem to be options in IE, nor in the
characteristics of the file types themselves.
Question: How do I set my environment to enable the "Always
ask ...." check box, so it can be uncheck?

I have no solution to my problem -- just more research results.
From MS's support database, article Q232077, IE has a
predefined, hard-coded list of file extensions that it
inherently distrusts, which results in the "Always ask before
opening" option to be checked and grayed out. The hard-coded
list does NOT include orarrp extensions (such as .rrpa), but
instead, extensions like .exe, .com, .bat, .cmd.
Nonetheless, ".rrpa" is still seems to be treated as a
permanently distrusted application -- I do not know why.
To quote the aforementioned article: "[T]he File Download dialog
box is not preventable in any way. This includes the use of HTML
tags, script in the page, hosting the WebBrowser control, and
changing security zone options."
The article does go on to describe IE/Windows only solutions:
<IFRAME> tag pointing to a shared Windows directory using MS's
UNC; and ActiveX/cab construction and deployment. Clearly,
neither is a solution.
I can't quite conclude that there is no solution under IE, but
its close.

Always ask before opening this type of file - IE11

Hi,
I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue with Internet Explorer and they way it handles opening file from the Internet. Sometimes it gives a prompt like this:
Which is great, I want to turn this on for all common document types (e.g. PDF, Word Docs, Zips). What I've found is you have to either untick the option 'Always ask before opening this type of file', or delete a registry key in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\AttachmentExecute
When I check my PC I find I don't have that option and the registry keys aren't present.
Could someone clarify this for me? I'm running IE11 and Windows 7.
Thanks
Dave

Hello,
This appears usually in every IE for common files like PDF, WORD, etc if settings are not changed. If this is not appearing for you for common files then check:

Otherwise;
Please see: What
to do when Internet Explorer isn't working.
See: "How
to Reset Internet Explorer settings".
If the issue persists...
1. Please download and run the Microsoft
Safety Scanner tool (freeware).
2. Reboot your PC.
3. Please download and update Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

File Download Dialog shown unexpectedly on submit (ADF)

We are getting an issue using ADF v10.1.3.0.4 where the File Download Dialog is being shown by the browser when a user clicks a navigation button or the date picker button. It doesn't happen consistently but often enough to be a issue for us. The download dialog asks the user to download the *.faces page rather than just displaying it! If they click cancel and then click the button again then the page is usually displayed correctly. We are running over SSL and using IE6 SP2. Has anyone seen this before and if so what is the solution to fixing it?
Thanks, JM

Hi,
actually I did run my test app via SSl as wellbut this effect didn't show. You could try and upgrade to a recent version of JDeveloper to see if it reproduces there. Or customer support at metalink.oracle.com is an option to solve the issue.

Urgent!!how to open the file download dialog box????

Hi all,
i'm using the browse button for the user to select the file
and a submit button, which when cliked should open the file
download dialog box asking for open or save.
i searched for so many forums and websites and didn't get the
solution yet.
i'm using jsp.

will b more helpful if u send it to me.

Hi
Use the Filedialog class.
Let your button call a method wich contains the following Java code:
FileDialog filedialog =
new FileDialog( Frame1.this, "Open a File", FileDialog.LOAD );
//witch calls this constructor: public FileDialog(Frame parent, String title, int mode)
//use Filedialog.SAVE to save a file.
filedialog.show();
String filename = filedialog.getFile();//to display the name of the file
String directoryname = filedialog.getDirectory();// to display the directory name

To display non US-ASCII filename in file download dialog - Help Needed

Hi,
Our application supports to upload a file with name in chinese/japanese language. When user tries to download filedownload dialog box is appearing with the filename as junk characters.
How to solve this issue to display the filename as uploaded.
Thanks in advance
~kans

bsampieri, issue is in display of the file name in
file download dialog.
~kansI understood that, but my thought was that the HTTP headers content type containing a charset of UTF-8 might help. I don't know for sure, but otherwise, I don't know how to get the browser to otherwise not assume ASCII.

Problem With File Download Dialog Box

Hi all,
I have jsp page that allows a user to export oracle data to excel.
I have these code in my page:
<%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" %>
response.setContentType ("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setHeader ("Content Disposition",
"filename=\"historicalrate.xls\"");
I run the page and it popups a file download dialog box with Open and Save buttons.
When I click the Save button a Save As window opens with a hr.xsl file name and Microsoft Excel Workbook(*.xls) as save type. It is what I want.
The problem I have is when I click the Open button on the file download dialog box it displays data in excel format on a browser well. Then I click File > save as on browser's tool bar the Save As window pop up with no file name and a default Text(tab delimited)(*.txt).
I need the file name and Microsoft Excel Workbook(*.xls) as default save type.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

File download dialog box problem!

Hi,
How do you force file download message box to use specified file name instead of JSP or servlet name.
I am using:
// code in attachment.jsp
<%
response.setContentType(mimeType.trim());
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=\""+attachmentViewBean.getAttachmentName()+ "\"");
%>
With the above code, browser first pop up file download dialog box informing
'You are downloading the file:[attachment.jsp] from host. Would u like to open the file or save?'
I want the file name that I had specified in setHeader("Content-disposition","attachment;filename=resume.doc") to appear(i.e. resume.doc) in above dialog box and not the servlet name.
Any suggestions/tips on this?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Yogesh

For saving the document I have used -
res.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename="+ FileName );
and it is working very fine, it saves the document with name specified in FileName
For opening the file in browser without any prompt-
res.setHeader("Content-disposition", "inline" );
For setting the content type -
try {
     if(FileType.equalsIgnoreCase("pdf")) contentType = "application/pdf";
     if(FileType.equalsIgnoreCase("doc")) contentType = "application/msword";
     if(FileType.equalsIgnoreCase("rtf")) contentType = "application/msword";
     if(FileType.equalsIgnoreCase("gif")) contentType = "image/gif";
     if(FileType.equalsIgnoreCase("jpg")) contentType = "image/jpeg";
     if(FileType.equalsIgnoreCase("html")) contentType = "text/html";
     if(FileType.equalsIgnoreCase("htm")) contentType = "text/html";
     if(contentType == null){
     contentType="text/plain";
     res.setContentType(contentType);
} catch (Exception e){
          out.println("Exception while setting content type");
          out.println("Exception : " + e);
          return;
Hope this helps

Hello,
Have you checked if a HTTP header "Content-disposition" is returned ?
You can use ieHTTPHEaders for IE

Seeing multiple file download dialogs trying to download one file.

I'm seeing some strange behavior from an application that uses the Safari Webkit to download a file from within the app. When I click the 'download' button I get cascading file download dialog boxes. Sometimes it is only two and sometimes it is 15+. Has anyone ever heard of this before????? Could it potentially be related to Java script or the version of Java?
Thanks!

Yes I've been in contact with the developer and they aren't sure what the issue could be as it seems to be happening for only a few users. From what they can tell it is only on Leopard. They use an SDK that calls into the Safari webkit, so they thought it might have something to do with my Safari preferences.

File Download Dialog Box

Hi,
I am creating a site using struts framework. In that one I code one "Download" hyperlink. Which should download Excel file to the client site.
For this I want the Windows File Download Dialog Box to pop up when the user presses the "Download"
hyperlink on the page. This is the dialog box which prompts the user to either open the file or save
the file.
However, instead of File download dialog box, IE opens the text document within itself.
From what I understand, if the Mime Type of the file I am trying to open is registered on the client
workstation, then this dialog box wont pop up as Windows would automatically get the registered Mime
Type from the registry and open the application. For this we need to add headers to http response (content-disposition). Where to add this header info. In JSP, Action classes?
Can somebody help.
Thanks

I am facing a similar problem...however in my case my application is on Tomcat server and when the user clicks the link, he/she sees junk data (excel sheet data) in plain html which makes no sense (with lot of special chars, just like opening any binary file in notepad)
while if i run the application in WSAD then the links work fine....is there any difference in both the servers in the way they treat file download?

File download dialog box events and work around

Hi all,
I have a amall problem.
when i set content type and header for downloading a file which is generated from the server i get a "file download dialog box" (open/save/cancel)
but the problem is i cannot capture the events i.e. if the client clicks 'cancel' since i cannot capture 'cancel' i cannot do some other modifications that need to be done when the file is not downloaded.
is there any way which i can track if the file is actully downloaded by the client or not??
Or is there any way i can just by pass this dialog box and get a "save as dialog box" which enables him to choose a location directly download to his hard drive.(In this case i ll get a javascript confirmation before actully creating the file)
i am using IE6SP1.
Thanks in advance for your support.

Just using JSP/HTML/Javascript code I don't think there is a way to do what you want. You might be able to do so using a Java Web Start application - like a download manager.

Problem in file download dialog

Hi,
I am using the following code to download a PDF file. (Whiich is present in the database and I am retriving it using JDBC call).
                    InputStream in = null;
                    HttpServletResponse response = ctx.response();
                    response.setContentType ("application/pdf");
                    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + fileName + "\"");
                    in = (InputStream)requestHandler.read(rparams);
                    byte[] buf = new byte[4096];
                    int len;
                    while((len = in.read(buf)) > 0)
                         out.write(buf, 0, len);
                    in.close();
                    out.flush();
                    out.close();
                    response.flushBuffer();
Now when user is clicking on the specified link, file download dialog is coming, if user clicks on save the file is getting saved successfully but if user clicks on OK, it is giving the error, "There was an error opening this document. The file does not exist".
Could anyone tell me what may be the problem in the code?
Thanks in advance
Amit

and out is simply response.getOutputStream().
Please let me know in case you need any further info.
