Save output of CGI script under different filename than the script name
I have a Python CGI script script.py
running on a server. It produces a CSV file as output.
I want computer-inexperienced people that don't know about file extensions to be able to just save the file to their hard drive and use it by double-clicking.
The problem: If they now click "OK" in the save dialog of the browser, the saved file's name is script.py
, instead of script.csv
.
How can I set some sort of "de开发者_如何学Gofault filename" from within the CGI? Maybe some HTTP header trickery? I don't have access to the server configuration.
You need to set a Content-Disposition
header, with a filename
attribute. See an earlier question for some discussion.
Yours would look like:
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=script.csv
As well as setting the filename, this will tell the browser to save the file, rather than to open it inline.
