help me with this damn problem!!!!!!!

[The Clansman]

I need to have files to download, but ony authenticated user can download
the files, so I'm using this solution:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;812406


some files has 50mb or more...... so when the download starts, the user
cannot continue navigating in the page until the download ends.


and the best problem ever, is that my great boss does NOT want to have any
popup in the application...... otherwise I would popup a new windows to have
the download page running in another instance and everyone would be happy
forever :S

thanks,
Bruno

fire the download on a background thread, or an asynch routine. have a look
at threading or asynch methods

I tried to use a threading but the download stops when the click envent ends

do you have an example?

thanks

I'm not sure threading/asynch will work, as when the user navigates away,
the Response stream would be broken on the download (which is what I think
you're saying).

Perhaps using frames is the only option since popups aren't possible. Use
a 'hidden' frame to do the download. It's about your only option....

omg......

what do you mean? by both those statements...sorry i'm not following...

Why don't you use a hidden frame with a different domainname or ip address.
Your session will differ by that way.

[The Clansman]

I'll try it,

thanks!!

Hi,

I have the same problem, but I cannot switch to a different Session because
I need the user credentials - it's supposed to be a highly secured download.

Clansman, do you have any news on this issue?


Thanks,
Bye

I just found this article:

It seems to solve the large-file issue. I am currently installing the fix on
my live server and will do some testing later today.
