Allow Downloads from Websites with Browser Widget?

Hello!
In the (regular) Chrome browser, when you click on a file to download on a website, it asks you where you want to save the file, and proceeds with the download. When I try the same thing with LiveCode's Browser Widget, it does nothing, as far as I could tell. Is there a way to get LiveCode's Browser Widget to behave like the (regular) Chrome browser? (I'm running on a Windows 10 computer.)

Rocco,
I haven't solved this yet, but I spoke with the LiveCode team, and they are going to try to help me out. I'll post the solution, here, when I hear back.

Until that you could simply use
browserUnhandledLoadRequest, e.g.
Code: Select all
on browserUnhandledLoadRequest pUrl
-- set download target:
set itemdel to slash
put item -1 of pURL into tF
set itemdel to comma
ask file "Download as:" with tF
if it is empty then exit browserUnhandledLoadRequest
-- download:
put url(pURL) into url("binfile:"&it)
end browserUnhandledLoadRequest
Put the above into the script of the widget (or the script of the card containing the widget).

Hi bethoust,
[-hh] (Hermann Hoch) was a university professor for mathematics, so you bet he wrote it by himself.
Unfortunately he passed away earlier of this year, a very tragic loss.
Best

I keep finding snippets of Herman's code and he does have some pretty nice widgets still uploaded to a website. Clearly he was an extremely talented LC dev and a force for good (development). I didn't realise he'd passed away this year, very sad to hear that - a tragic loss indeed
