[Seaside] flow

[Boris Popov, DeepCove Labs]

Milan,

 

Many sites simply use meta refresh to achieve the effect of triggering a
file download once the next page opens up (and also include a
link/button to trigger a manual download should anything happen that
prevents the meta from performing as desired). Here's an example from
CNET,

 

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0;
URL=http://software-files-l.cnet.com/s/software/11/90/35/63/wrar401.exe?
e=1308359520&h=f39cdec43bab91c125d8e78ca3685cf7&lop=link&ptype=1901&onti
d=2250&siteId=4&edId=3&spi=944705fef3fce43686239204d08c7663&pid=11903563
&psid=10007677&fileName=wrar401.exe"/>

 

        $('pdlManual').addEvent('click', function() {

 
img_track('http://dw.com.com/redir?edId=3&siteId=4&oId=3001-2250_4-10007
677&ontId=2250_4&lop=txt&mfgId=113677&merId=113677&pguid=KPsiAwoOYJQAAEm
niYoAAAGP&ctype=dl_dlnow&cval=user_init&destUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.com.com
%2Fb.gif');

            new IFrame({

 
src:'http://software-files-l.cnet.com/s/software/11/90/35/63/wrar401.exe
?e=1308359520&h=f39cdec43bab91c125d8e78ca3685cf7&lop=link&ptype=1901&ont
id=2250&siteId=4&edId=3&spi=944705fef3fce43686239204d08c7663&pid=1190356
3&psid=10007677&fileName=wrar401.exe',

                styles: {

                    width:0,

                    height:0,

                    border:'0px solid #FFFFFF'

                }

            }).inject($('pdlManual'), 'after');

        });

Yes, I came to the same conclusion. It's only HTTP. Some sites perform
some delayed ajax to redirect the brower once the download has started,
or similar. I made a separate "download" button. It will be fine.
