[OpenLayers-Users] Ajax POST request and file download dialog

[François Van Der Biest]

Hi list,

I'm trying to make the browser download a CSV file (created on the fly
by GeoServer using outputFormat=csv) by issuing a call to a WFS v1.1
protocol's read method.
The XHR is issued as a POST request, and thus, I suspect that
browser's cannot download the response text as a file.
Is this true, and do you know why ? Better : do you see ways to overcome this ?

The response headers seem fine to me :

Server	Jetty(6.1.8)
Content-Type	text/csv
Content-Disposition	attachment; filename=partenaire.csv
Content-Encoding	gzip
Keep-Alive	timeout=15, max=94
Connection	Keep-Alive
Transfer-Encoding	chunked

Thank's for shedding light on this.
F.
