Download link without a widget
Added by Mario Hegele about 6 years ago
Hi everybody,
I would like to create a download link on my website that allows to download a resource (a file) without creating a button or similar.
The file is not located in docroot but somewhere on my file system.
It shall be downloadable via an address like 'http://mywebsite.com/myfile.txt
With WFileResource, WLink and WAnchor I can create a download link which allows a user to interactively download the file with a browser.
But how can I create a link which can be used by another application?
What am i missing?
Yours
Mario

If you want to expose a static resource, you can add it to the WServer, so instead of using WRun, you can also create a WServer and add your application as an entrypoint, see: https://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt/doc/reference/html/classWt_1_1WServer.html#details
You can then use addResource to add a WFileResource.

Roel

Thank you,
"addResource" did the trick.
