in reply to saving pages all= index.pl.html

What browser?

IE prompts me to save the page with the contents of the <TITLE> tags (basically). Phoenix/Mozilla prompt me with index.pl.html (dumb), as does opera.

Would it be possible to put the node subject as the name of the html file?
I don't exactly see how anybody can do anything about this, it completely depends upon the browser.

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6x+5.8x. I take requests.

      Oh I get it now. So zentara wants another link next to print, xml, save, which would use Content-Disposition ... so a user can "save target as" and save it with the neato filename. We can do that.

      update: Or we can send the Content-Disposition header with every request. I haven't checked the RFC, but IE does not respect the filename specified via Content-Disposition, while Mozilla does. I'm not sure how it's supposed to work.

        I have been using: 
        print $q->header(-type=>$type, -Content_Disposition=>"filename=$node->
+{title}");
print $$data;

        [download]
        ...with a script that grabs files (mostly photographs) from a database and sends them to the browser. After determining the mime.type and verifying the data, of course.
        I have never had IE not respect the filename I sent it.
        This is running from Apache/1.3.26 (Unix).
        -xtype

        P.S. Oh, and I agree with this post, except that I would like an option between the node ID or the node Title (set in user prefs). Maybe it would default to node Title for the Anons. pmdev...get to work.

        update: Also, I would like to see it sent with every request. I see no need for a "save" link.

    Konqueror saves it as 'index.pl', Galeon saves this node as 'index.pl?node_id=237143'...

    Try filing a wishlist bug on Mozilla that addresses your disleasure.

    When crypto tools are outlawed, I will still be using them.
