Raise a "File Download" Dialog Box using Perl
Sometime it is desired that you want to give option where a user will click a link and it will pop up a "File Download" dialogue box to the user instead of displaying actual content. This is very easy and will be achieved through HTTP header using Perl Script.
This HTTP header will be different from the header mentioned in previous section. For example, if you want to make a FileName file downloadable from a given link then it's syntax will be as follows −
#!/usr/bin/perl # HTTP Header print "Content-Type:application/octet-stream; name = \"FileName\"\r\n"; print "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename = \"FileName\"\r\n\n"; # Actual File Content will go hear. open( FILE, "<FileName" ); while(read(FILE, $buffer, 100) ) { print("$buffer"); }
