[Seaside] WAResponse and XML

[James Foster]

Jay,

With the following code, clicking on a link will open a dialog asking what application to use to open the document or offering to save the document. This looks close to what you are doing. (I'm using Seaside 3.0.5 in GemStone/S.)

James

	self requestContext respond: [:response |
		| document |
		document := myXmlString seasideMimeDocument
			mimeType: (WAFileLibrary mimetypeFor: 'xml');
			fileName: 'myNewFile.xml';
			yourself.
		response 
			document: document;
			doNotCache;
			yourself.
	].
