In HTTP, the save request and the XML file, and then Render

Question

In the web application being created, users can locally back up their data. Backup data is an XML file. At the moment, most browsers are trying to display this file. What should I change in the HTTP response to suggest to the user agent that the file should be saved?

Answer 1

You need a Content-Disposition header:

Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=my_backup.xml

Answer 2

You need to use the content setting, for example:

AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "filename=MyExportedFile.xml");

This will give you a save request, not an attempt to render to the screen
