Flex 3 - Send a HTTP Get request from Flash and want Firefox to show Open With Box.
- by Kash
Hi all,
I am a newb developer as far as Flex and Flash is concerned. This is what I'm trying to do:
1) Send a HTTP request to our server (with a custom made URL). The URL basically tells the server to send data in a CSV format.
2) The server sends a 200 OK response, which has Content-Type: application/csv and the payload is pure CSV data.
What I wish to do is, when firefox gets this 200 OK response, I want it to show the standard Open with box (the one that shows up when you download some file).
I tried doing this with HTTPService. I have a "Export to CSV" button on the flash component. Upon clicking that, the flash component is able to succesfully send the HTTP request. I however don't want Flash component to handle the response, so I don't have the 's "result" tag defined. But nothing happens. Any suggestions on how to do this.
