How to know when download File was cancelled?

[Admin]

Hi there

I want to record in a Db when a file is download via my website. These
are actual download links not someone flogging my sites images. I have
an ahref pointing to my apsx page containing the file to download.

Im using

Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" &
_filename)

so the user gets a dialog box im sure you're all familiar with... My
question is how do i know when the user cancells the download so i can
determine whether to update my Db?

TIA

Henry

Hi,

If you will implement HTTP handler for the download files types you can
have full control if someone download them.

Assuming you're streaming out the file, you need to check every so often to
make sure Response.IsClientConnected. If the user bails out of the download
for some reason then this will return false before you finish sending your
full page (which is actually file.)
