posted September 22, 2008 6:35 PM When a client requests to download a file, the server will generate an event telling the application that a file is going to be downloaded. You can get the name of the requested file. Can you change that name and will the new file get downloaded by the client? The problem is that a client can request to download a certain file (multimedia content) but when that file has been replaced by another one the server should send hem the new file. e.g the client requests 1234.jpg but that file has been replaced by 1234a.jpg, the server should give the client the 1234a.jpg file. If this works you can also send a 'dummy name' and the server can then decide which file to send to the client. |

posted September 23, 2008 9:48 AM Hi, Yes, you can do this. In the example below, if a certain file is requested, data from a different file is sent. Hope it helps, -ken If Request.Completed = False Then If Request.Parameters(1) = "file.txt" Then Request.Parameters.Clear Response.Status = 150 Response.StatusText = "Sending data from a different file" Dim ds As New DartStream ds.FileName = App.Path & "\substitute.txt" Response.data = ds End If End If |

posted February 20, 2009 11:39 AM Hi, This has been working well for some time now. Is it allowed to pass pure binary data (so it can contain '00' and other control characters)? |
