Download href source instead of open page

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 11.2007

We are trying to figure out a way to do this?

We have two IFRAMEs on a page, we want a way to say:

if the user clicks on ANY link/href in IFRAME #2, then go get the source and download it to the server, rename it to an .html file and display that file back in that IFRAME (IFRAME #2).

In other words we don’t want to allow IFRAME #2 clicks/links to open, straight up, we want to download the source, rename and open from that file from our server.

Does anyone know of a graceful way to do this?

Thanks,

@mrhooDec 11.2007 — You need to call a proxy script on your server from the links in frame 2.

You can make the call with a javascript GET or Ajax method, but the proxy download and file writing has to be done server side.

Sounds excellent. Opinion and question...

Which method do you think would be the most sound method to chase for stability and working rock solid now and in the future?

We have never done anything with proxy before, where do you think we could get some help with syntax for this, either forum or link to syntax help source for the method you suggest in the answer to your opinion?

Thanks so much, this is great stuff.

@mrhooDec 11.2007 — The thing to remember when you open a proxy is that it can make it easier to hack your site, so be very careful with the allow permissions when you set it up.

I use php and curl, there are good examples available(google 'php proxy' or 'fcurl proxy'). I'm sure microsoft has equivilent asp or net routines.

Success!
