garpunkal Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Hi folks, Wondering if anyone can help... Im working on a site for work and I want the user to be able to right click a link and save an eps file.. e.g. Laptop_2.eps ---> right click ---> save target as... however everytime I go to do this.. when clicking save target as... it trys saving it as .ps file!? e.g. Laptop_2.eps ---> right click ---> save target as... ---> Laptop_2.ps This is really confusing as the link points to the correct .eps file.. Can someone explain to me if there is anyway to get around this 'bug' ? If not I'd like to know, cus its driving me mad! Thanks :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniac1181 Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Well.. since I don't think .eps files can be viewed directly from internet explorer... why don't you just zip the file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garpunkal Posted October 15, 2003 Author Share Posted October 15, 2003 cus i have about 100 of them.. lol.. its an image library, which displays small / large / and print size images.. Thanks for the suggestion, any other ideas.. its not a show stopper but its a bit of a pain. Mozilla saves the files as Laptop_2.eps.ps so Im not sure what is going on there?!?

Oogle Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 It's a combination of issues. First, you must realize that data on the internet (files included) rely on mime types. Your web server sends your browser a mime-type of "application/postscript" (or something like it) when it sends the eps file. And, in turn, your browser sees "application/postscript" and associates it with the ps extension. That's what's going on. To fix the problem, you can do try the following... - Reconfigure your web server to send a different mime-type when sending eps files. - Reconfigure your browser to save mime-types of "application/postscript" to eps instead of ps. Please note: I have no idea what kind of mime-type is being sent by your web server. So, "application/postscript" is just something I made up for this example. You will need to look at your server configuration to determine what actual mime-type is being sent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
