ColdFusion: Download Will Start Shortly
I was trying to run this code, and browser ask me to download pdf file which is good, But it was not loading remaining HTML code or you can say I could not see "Thank you Message".
Am I doing something wrong or missing something?
Need your help
<cfheader name="content-disposition" value="attachment; filename=134.pdf"/>
<cfcontent type="application/pdf" file="#ExpandPath( './134.pdf' )#"/>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transi开发者_Python百科tional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Download Now</title>
</head>
Thank you for your interest in downloading this file. Your download should begin shortly.
Maybe show the 'download will begin shortly' message first as a distinct page, which then redirects (JavaScript or meta tag...) to the .cfm that generates the PDF.
What you're trying to do is load the PDF file immediatly. As stated before you should have a basic HTML Page:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=getpdf.cfm?file=123.pdf">
..rest of head
</head>
<body>
Download will begin shortly.
</body>
</html>
This getpdf.cfm?file=123.pdf will be
<cfheader name="content-disposition" value="attachment; filename=134.pdf"/>
<cfcontent type="application/pdf" file="#ExpandPath( './134.pdf' )#"/>
The reason it wont work, is that you browser reads the "headers" and will basically see the file as a PDF file. Like you were downloading a ".pdf". Now you're putting one step in between and let the browser redirect to the PDF download.
