0 down vote favorite Hi, I am unable to open a msword file using response.header in firefox. When I click on a link in mozilla it just shows me a popup but without any details, it shows me the open or save option but it doesnt show any details of the file. on the other hand it works properly in IE. Please help, I am showing my code below. <pre><nowiki>List<UserRegistrationDetail> registration = dao .executeQuery("from org.mihgh.domain.UserRegistrationDetail reg" + " where reg.id=" + userid); byte[] fileDetailsArray = registration.get(0).getNihBioSketchFile() .getFileContent(); String filename = registration.get(0).getNihBioSketchFile() .getFileName(); response.reset(); response.setContentType("application/msword"); response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + filename + "\";"); response.setContentLength(fileDetailsArray.length+1000); response.setHeader("Pragma", "public"); response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "cache"); response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "must-revalidate"); OutputStream opstream = response.getOutputStream(); File file = new File(realPath+"temp.doc"); file.createNewFile(); FileUtils.writeByteArrayToFile(file, fileDetailsArray); FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(file); BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(fileInputStream); int count = 0; while((count = bis.read()) != -1) { opstream.write(count); } opstream.flush(); opstream.close(); bis.close(); file.delete();</nowiki></pre>
