Download directory from browser

It not only permits to read and display the tree of your LDAP Server but also allows you to modify it by creating, editing or removing entries.

We're also open for volunteers who want to add another language support. News Apache Directory Studio 2. There are several downsides with this approach: The entire data blob is stored in RAM, so if the file is large, it will consume that much RAM. For small files, this probably isn't a deal breaker. The user has to wait for the entire file to download before they can save it.

They also can't leave the page until it completes. The built-in web browser file downloader is not used. A cross-domain fetch will probably fail unless CORS headers are set. The iframe fires a load event if a page loads in the iframe instead of starting a download but it does not fire any events if the download starts.

Setting a cookie with the web server can then be detected by Javascript in a loop. There are several downsides with this approach: The server and client have to work in concert. The server has to set a cookie. The client has to detect the cookie. Cross-domain requests won't be able to set the cookie. There are limits to how many cookies can be set per domain.

Can't send custom HTTP headers. Use an iframe with URL redirection. The iframe starts a request and once the server has prepared the file, it dumps a HTML document that performs a meta refresh to a new URL, which triggers the download 1 second later.

The load event on the iframe happens when the HTML document loads. There are several downsides with this approach: The server has to maintain storage for the content being downloaded. Requires a cron job or similar to regularly clean up the directory. The server has to dump out special HTML content when the file is ready.

The client has to guess as to when the iframe has actually made the second request to the server and when the download has actually started before removing the iframe from the DOM. This could be overcome by just leaving the iframe in the DOM. The iframe triggers the download request. As soon as the request is made via the iframe, an identical request via XHR is made.

If the load event on the iframe fires, an error has occurred, abort the XHR request, and remove the iframe. If a XHR progress event fires, then downloading has probably started in the iframe, abort the XHR request, wait a few seconds, and then remove the iframe. This allows for larger files to be downloaded without relying on a server-side cookie.

There are several downsides with this approach: There are two separate requests made for the same information. The server can distinguish the XHR from the iframe by checking the incoming headers. If the server waits to send headers until the file data is ready, the XHR can roughly detect when the iframe has started to download even without CORS. The client has to guess as to when the download has actually started to remove the iframe from the DOM. Can't send custom headers on the iframe.

I'm very late to the party but I'll put this up here if anyone else would like to know my solution: I had a real struggle with this exact problem but I found a viable solution using iframes I know, I know.

It's terrible but it works for a simple problem that I had I had an html page that launched a separate php script that generated the file and then downloaded it. Walker Boh Walker Boh 6 6 silver badges 13 13 bronze badges.

If the file is ready, do the download. If the file is not ready, show the progress. That sounds like the temporary-file approach I mentioned above. I might do something like this if it turns out my idea is impossible, but I was hoping to avoid it.

Works but basically transforms data to Base64 on the memory before reconverting to binary and downloading. Not recommended for large files — Erdal G. How can I set the final downloaded filename to the filename which is fetched from url?

In my experience, there are two ways to handle this: Set a short-lived cookie on the download, and have JavaScript continually check for its existence. Only real issue is getting the cookie lifetime right - too short and the JS can miss it, too long and it might cancel the download screens for other downloads. Using JS to remove the cookie upon discovery usually fixes this. Not only do you know exactly when the file download finishes, if you use XHR you can use progress events to show a progress bar!

The problem with this method is that iOS Safari doesn't seem to handle downloading blobs right - you can convert the blob into a data URL with a FileReader and open that in a new window, but that's opening the file, not saving it. Sora Sora 7 7 silver badges 19 19 bronze badges.

I should clarify -- I"m not too concerned with when the download completes. If I can just identify when the download starts, that would be enough.
