Tact doesn't seem like it comes up a lot in meetings.  Or did you forget about the spanking?

If DNF continues to get delayed and we never see it from this studio either, well....that would be hilarious. Hard to make a game live up to years of hype.

It will be released. This is just one more joke to add to the pile.

I want to go to there.

Also, the first Duke Nukem game was release in June 1991. The DNF release will mark the 20th anniversary of Duke Nukem.

Pff Flashback, I liked it up until re-playing it on the iPhone. Another World blows it out of the water with style and it's simplicity.

Troll 2 is this old trainwreck of a movie well deserving of its "Worst movie ever" status (I saw 15+ years ago)

However,
The documentary about that movie is great! Best Worst Movie is hilarious, insightful and occasionally sad, but always interesting. All thumbs up.

Huh. I've come across the silliest of problems in developing my product webpage: What is the correct way to make a hyperlink that downloads a file?

I get an error with my current technique: I have a "download.php" file that contains header data to transmit the file as binary. The file is transmitted just fine, but I get this console error in Safari when using the link:
Failed to load resource: Frame load interrupted

Eh the error is ignorable I suppose, but I assume it means I'm doing something wrong.

The download.php code is simple:
< ?php
header('Content-type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename=foundation_installer.mel');
readfile('http://mayafoundation.googlecode.com/files/foundation_installer_1.0.mel');
? >


Any of you amazing web guys can slap some sense into me? Downloading a file cannot be where I stumble and fail.

I just use an "a href" and the direct link to the file, but I'm not fancy.

Googling suggests that the notification is a Webkit security feature since you are using a script to generate the header. However Safari handles the warning differently from Firefox etc. (despite using the same engine) so you mostly see people complaining about it in reference to Safari.
#215 by Gabe

The script is server side, so doubt it's a Webkit security feature related to scripting. Not that I know what is actually going on.

I'm kind of with bishop, though, why this convolution vs just a normal link to a file?
#216 by G-Man
2011-04-04 23:12:33
Maybe it needs to be able to serve up links to dynamically generated files?
#217 by gaggle
2011-04-05 02:15:18
I did start off with just a simple link to the file itself but I think it actually generated the same error. I can test that later to be sure. But more importantly the file is a .mel file, which I'm pretty sure on some machines will be read as a text file. The purpose of my product is to be downloaded, not displayed in the browser.

Maybe I'll do the same.

It does seem this error only occurs in Safari and only shows up in the console. If that's the only symptom I'll stop panicking and carry on with life.

Usually if I want something to be downloaded vs displayed in the browser I'll set a mime type with apache (httpd.conf):

AddType application/octet-stream .mel

Which probably does the same thing as the first line in your snippet.  Given that apache is good at these things, I'd probably try that first given it's the "simplest thing that might work".  One other place I've had strange errors like this was when trying to set headers using the php header() function after content has already been sent to the browser (even a random space or carriage return at the top of the file).  See here in the description for an example.

There's nothing wrong with PHP, just like there's nothing wrong with Visual Basic.  The problem is it's so easy to use, a lot of people write really bad code with it.

Why not cache the file on disk after it's generated and provide a link? That's much less computationally expensive than generating the file on the fly everytime the user clicks 'download'.

But if you're going to autogenerate it, don't forget a <meta http-equiv="PRAGMA" content="NO-CACHE"> tag.

Oh I don't generate it. The php file just sends a file with a specific MIME type.

In the same theme, and also keeping with the theme of "the simplest thing that works":  I'd use a simple filesystem symlink to do the masking of filenames that you are doing with the second line.  That way when you upload a new version you just change the symlink, you don't have to edit the php file.  In fact, there wouldn't even be a php file!

Yeah I kid.  I've never built anything of merit with it myself but I'm sure it's possible as with any language!  I use wordpress every day and it's pretty damn sweet.

Hey cool.  I assume you mean the safari version?  I'll have a look and hopefully I can fix it as I would love to try out the autoupdate feature of the safari extensions.

I've pushed an update to the script.  If you've set automatic updates for extensions it will happen automatically, otherwise you might have to go to Preferences -> Extensions -> Update all.

The autoupdate feature for safari works as advertised, I inevitably stuffed it up a bit by mismatching version numbers in a plist file somewhere, but worked it out after a bit of head scratching.

You are a rock God Owen. I verified that the error still occurred, then restarted Safari and instantly the error is gone. That is too cool. Good catch on the Safari assumption, that wasn't my most informative bug-report to date.
