Display file in browser

Hi guys,

How do I display a file in the browser - e.g.

<a href="/files/products/datasheet.pdf" target="_blank">datasheet</a>

But still would like the tracking from the "/admin/public/Download.aspx"?

If I am using this method:

<a href="/admin/public/Download.aspx?file=/files/products/datasheet.pdf" target="_blank">datasheet</a>

Then it seems to force download of the file and not just displays in file in a new window. Any experience about this?

Best regards, Anders

You can add &ForceDownload=False - then it is up to the browser if it should be displayed inline.

Thanks for a very quick reply!

I have tried that parameter, but for that to work there seems to be a missing else part in this if-statement

		If Base.ChkBoolean(Base.Request("ForceDownload")) Then
			Redirect = False
		End If

So I am looking for a solution where "Redirect" can be set to true

Well, it is followed by these line:

 If Redirect Then
            Response.Redirect(FilePath)
            Response.End()
 End If

Response.Redirect(FilePath)

Response.End()

Yes, but how to make the "Redirect" variable true? :-)

Hi Nicolai,

Thanks, sounds great! When will this be released? And do you have a workaround in the meantime??

Best regards, Anders
