[TriLUG] Web server Research question

[Brian McCullough]

Good Morning, All.


I have a question that I have been trying to research lately, and not
having any success.


Has anybody ever encountered, or accomplished, a web server being able
to force a browser to ask where a file is to be saved.

I always tell Firefox that I want to be asked, in its settings, but the
default is to just automatically save files "somewhere."  Some ( a lot
of ) people have no idea where that somewhere is, and so the file is
lost.


I want to force the user to choose where to put a file.

Has anybody found any HTTP, or other, way to do this?


Thanks,
Brian
