New subject: [xwiki-dev] Why do we use Content-Disposition with inline mode in DownloadAction?

9 Feb 2007

Hi there,

I'm trying to fix some issue and I'd like to understand why we have  
the following in DownloadAction:

         String ofilename = XWiki.getURLEncoded(attachment.getFilename 
()).replaceAll("\\+", " ");
         response.addHeader("Content-disposition", "inline; filename= 
\"" +  ofilename + "\"");
         response.setDateHeader("Last-Modified", attachment.getDate 
().getTime());

To my knowledge, "inline" means that we're giving an indication to  
the browser so that it does NOT to bring up a "Save As..." dialog box.

However my understanding is that when the user uses the /download/  
action the attachment is bringing up a Save dialog box.

So 2 questions:
1) Why do we use inline?
2) Why is it working? :)

Thanks
-Vincent
