}

This didn't work.

what kind of file are you trying to download?

Its an excel file. The behavior is like this once you click on the download link, it opens a new window and then displays the 'Save as' dialog box.

can i have the access to the link?

Sorry cannot share the url here, all I can share is that the download link has got the following HTML:

[code:3q5tzm52]<a target="_blank" href="/athena/bir/download/export/198">Download</a>[/code:3q5tzm52]

It works fine if the html code of the download link is:

[code:3q5tzm52]<a target="_self" href="/athena/bir/download/export/198">Download</a>[/code:3q5tzm52]

can you come on skype?

Sure, can we do that at 4 pm IST today?

ok

Ashish, please let me know once you get a solution to this. Thanks!

use this to get the mime type

add that to the list


[code:135w9pet]Path p1 = Paths
.get("path/to/.csv/file");
String x = Files.probeContentType(p1);
System.out.println(x);[/code:135w9pet]
