This sounds crazy, but I found the answer at
http://www.phpbuilder.com/forum/archives/2/2001/4/2/131486
basically, do this: String fileName = "whatever.txt";
String sBrowser = ""+req.getHeader("User-Agent") ;
boolean bIE55 = (sBrowser.toUpperCase().indexOf("MSIE 5.5")!=-1) ;
log.debug("bIE55 = " + bIE55);
if (bIE55){
res.setContentType("application/download; name=\""+ fileName+"\"") ;
res.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "anything; filename="+ fileName + "\";") ;
}
else{
// download type = 'application/octet-stream' or 'application/x-zip-compressed'
res.setContentType(downloadType+"; name=\""+fileName+"\"") ;
res.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=\"" + fileName + "\";");
} I have not seen this NOT work on IE5.5. It's so wonderful that I feel like leaving work right now. Enjoy!
