Web Designer: no popup when downloading a file

I included a file-downloading module into my web portal. I made it under a Server action of the button.

The General Settings are as follows:

When i click Download, the file opens in the browser, on the same page. But I want it to open in a popup that prompts the user to save this file. What do i do wrong? It seems to be a standard behavior, or does the File-Download module open files only in browser?

  • Hello, Hanno!

    Thank you for the answer.

    The headers when attempting to download a txt file:

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    Cache-Control: no-cache
    Content-Type: text/plain
    Content-Encoding: gzip
    Expires: Tue, 02 Jul 2019 09:58:26 GMT
    Vary: Accept-Encoding
    Server: Microsoft-IIS/8.5
    content-disposition: inline; filename="20190702-095555_40cec0cb-b39a-4f68-afeb-6ece7143ddb6.txt"

    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff

    I also experimented with downloading a 7z archive. In this case, on the countrary, I was prompted if i want to save or open the file (the desired behavior of the module). Headers are as follows:

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    Cache-Control: no-cache
    Content-Type: application/octet-stream

  • Hi,

    I found a bug (30404) which might explain this behavior. I suggest you contact support to find out how to proceed.
