406 Not Acceptable
------------------

It is not what anyone would expect, but if you're sure:
you can for example use a custom header like Accept-confirm: confirm-delete, and return 406 Not Acceptable if the Accept-confirm header is not what you expect.


This is done through the following code:

<a href="javascript:void(0);"
 onclick="document.execCommand('SaveAs',true,'file.html');"
  >Save this page</a> 

  However, usually you want to save another file, the file a hyperlink leads to. To do that javascript is not enough (at least there is no such standard way) and something must be done on the server.
  Forcing SaveAs using the HTTP header

  In order to force the browser to show SaveAs dialog when clicking a hyperlink you have to include the following header in HTTP response of the file to be downloaded: 

  Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="<file name.ext>" 

  Where <file name.ext> is the filename you want to appear in SaveAs dialog (like finances.xls or mortgage.pdf) - without < and > symbols. 

  You have to keep the following in mind:

  The filename should be in US-ASCII charset and shouldn't contain special characters: < > \ " / : | ? * space.
  The filename should not have any directory path information specified.
  The filename should be enclosed in double quotes but most browsers will support file names without double quotes.
  Ancient browsers also required the following (not needed nowadays, but for a fool proof solution might be worth doing):

  Content-Type header should be before Content-Disposition.
  Content-Type header should refer to an unknown MIME type (at least until the older browsers go away).



Try downloading files with Content-disposition

Text file with Content-Type of application/x-unknown.
