Your question is not entirely clear, but if you are serving file from node and want a client web browser to save instead of displaying a file, add the header Content-disposition: attachment; filename=fname.ext The filename MUST be ASCII to work cross browser Also, if you're serving an HTML page with links to content that should be downloaded instead of displayed, add the HTML5 "download" attribute to the link. Currently, only Chrome supports this, but presume eventually all browsers will support this, and will display the link differently. At present, it's useful for content from servers you don't control. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
