I've got a Java servlet that delivers large database resultsets
transformed to Excel with the HSSF library. In some cases it takes
more than 15 minutes before transformation is done and content can be
delivered to the browser.
I want to show the "Save As" dialog as early as possible so the user
knows he's not lost and forgotten.
I already tried to send the response headers immediately after
receiving the request including content disposition and filename. Even
though the browser receives those headers it just won't trigger the
"Save As" dialog. This applies to both MS IE and Mozilla.
Any ideas appreciated.
