What wrong is the excel link?

[oem7110]

Referring to following link, I would like to bookmark the download link for Excel file. Based on following source code, when I try to paste following code into URL, there is no excel file to be downloaded.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the code for bookmark?

Any help will be greatly appreciated :>

Bookmarks don't work the same in all browsers.

I use PHP to force a download.

<?php
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename=myfile.xls');
header('Content-type: application/xls');
readfile('myfile.xls');
?>

<a href="downloadxl.php">Download my excel sheet (XLS)</a>

Here's a better one:

Do you have any suggestions on how to get the link from the source code?
so I can download the file using some other script.
Thanks you very much for any suggestions

Even through you use PHP to force a download, you still need to hardcode the link into it, do you have any suggestions on what code you would retrieve from above example?

My previous post had a link to a script I use where the PHP script will download any file from a particular directory.

Then you simply add the filename to the query string.
I'm using it here:

Referring to following coding, it is ASP.NET, not PHP, so it would not work,

It is possible the server is trying to prevent hotlinking...meaning you might have to initialize a session first...

They may not want you to be hotlinking to their documents. I would suggest asking them for an API if you are planning to use their contents in any way.

I would like to know what coding I can tell that web site does not wany me to be hotlinking to their documents.

Can you tell what the code looks like based on the source code from above questions?

Thanks everyone very much for any suggestions

I good way to tell that they don't want hotlinking is if you copy the URL used to get the document and when pasting it into a freshly opened browser you don't get the document as expected.

But sometimes, people can still sort out the URL for hotlinking from source code to get the document, referring to this example, could you please give me any suggestions on what command prevents people sorting out the URL for hotlinking?

Something they are doing server side is probably preventing the hotlinking. I'm not going to tell you how to work around it.
