asp_components thread: Ensuring an accurate download?


Message #1 by "Richard Blair" <rblair@s...> on Wed, 31 Jan 2001 09:43:32 -0600
Does anyone know of a way to ensure the user actually receives a 

download?

The system I am working on allows users to "check-out" documents from 

the

server for editing.  I can begin the download without any problems, but 

if

the user cancels the download in anyway, or the power goes out, 

connection

is broken, etc.  Is there a way ensure the file was received properly.  

I

cannot rely on ActiveX controls as I have to support older browsers and

especially Netscape (no plug-ins allowed).  Thanks for any help on this.



Regards,

Rich

show them a "check this if youve downloaded this document correctly" 

button...they click, you save...etc..

Any way around relying on the user?   I have a feeling most of the users 

of

this site are less than just worthy.
