Uses of content-disposition in an HTTP response header

Question

I have found the following asp.net code to be very useful when serving files from a database:

Response.AppendHeader(\"content-disposition\", \"attachment; fi         


        

Answer 1

Well, it seems that the Content-Disposition header was originally created for e-mail, not the web. (Link to relevant RFC.)

I'm guessing that web browsers may respond to

Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "inline; filename=" + fileName);

when saving, but I'm not sure.
