I am using Xalan to convert XML to Text/HTML on a web server. I want to
output text from the web server such that the user is prompted to SAVE the
text file onto his local machine. I've tried specifying unusual media-types
in my xsl:output tag but nothing seems to work. For example, translation
using this XSL:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text" encoding="UTF-8"
media-type="application/octet-stream"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
testing 1 2 3
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
...always displays the "testing 1 2 3" text _within the web browser_, even
though the media-type is specified as "application/octet-stream" which
normally prompts a user with a Save dialog box.
Anyone have a clue how to make this work?
Thanks
