Hi, You can configure apache to send back a content-disposition header for your file.
e.g. Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=fname.ext Set an environment variable based on the filename (see SetEnvIf in the mod_setenvif module) and send the above content-disposition header using mod_headers if it matches the appropriate pattern. I would have thought that viewVC would send back those headers itself - apparently not. -Andrew On Wed, 2011-01-26 at 19:33 +0000, Rick Gates wrote: > Hi all, > > > > This is my first post on this list. > > > I am currently facing an issue with apache server on my linux box. > > > I have configured apache along with ViewVC for browsing my CVS > repository. > Everything works fine except that , whenevr I click on the download > button (in viewVC), instead of downloading, it displays the file on > the browser. > > > To simulate the issue in a simpler manner, I just added a link on my > home page of the server which points to a text file. > I want that whenever that link is clicked, the browser downloads the > file instead of displaying it on the web browser. > > > Can any one tell me how can this be achieved? does it require a > reconfiguration of apache server. > If yes, then what is the conf file parameter that needs to be > modified? > > > Thanks in advance!! > Regards, > Rick
