'handle them' = 1. recognize that the url that the user clicked is to a file that should be downloaded, rather than loaded in the webview. and 2. download the data to a file.
Currently, when I click on a link to a file such as one with a .doc extension, my webview calls : - (void)webView:(WebView *)sender didStartProvisionalLoadForFrame:(WebFrame *)frame and then: - (void)webView:(WebView *)sender didFailLoadWithError:(NSError *)error forFrame:(WebFrame *)frame I want my application to download this file. I assume that I need to access the WebDataSource and then the NSData object that represents the file content. I need to check the MIME type of the document and determine if it should be loaded in the webview or if it should be downloaded. I'm not sure when exactly during the load process I need to check the MIME type of the resource, but it seems to me that I should be able to know the MIME type before any of the WebFrameLoad delegate methods are called, but I'm not sure how.
