I'm documenting this here for the benefit of anyone that may search this in the future.

In short, I concluded that the content type was not being recognized by Apple Safari and that the Safar Browser on Mac defaults unknown file types to text - which means it tries to display them -- rather than binary, which would cause the browser to prompt you for what to do next.

I originally went to my Domino server to set the content type but quickly realized that this would not work as the actual files were on another server and the content type is set by the server where the files reside and not the server where the html calls the file from.

So, long story short, here is the solution I used:

1. Create (or edit) an .htaccess text file in the root of the Linux web server where the files reside

2. Insert these two lines:

AddType binary/octet-stream .ntf

AddType binary/octet-stream .nsf

3. Save the file.

Done.

The above two lines will tell the browser that when presented with files of type .nsf (Notes database) or .ntf (Notes template) treat them as any other binary file. Most browsers will immediately prompt the user "do you want to download or open this file?" while Chrome will simply download the file.

In our case the user is not actually clicking on a link but a buttonwith some script behind it that redirects the user to the URL. I simply posted the direct URL above for testing purposes. (I will updatethe blog post with details.)

If you have Safari and want to try the process yourself, go to this page and download anything... http://www.eProductivity.com/download.

Thanks.]]>

Yes, LN may be more powerful but I don't care, I spend most of my time exchanging emails, not reading the cantine menu (what a nice function!).

I've read here that version 8 solves many problems, I checked and we are using 6.5 in 2010. Why my company doesn't upgrade???

A martyr of LN 6.5]]>

Just a few month ago I have was hired by diff company and on my first day have found out that they are usibg Lotus Domino/Notes.

My laptop had Lotus Notes 8.5 client installed and I was so eager to see how this new (to me) app works/looks.

After trying some basic tasks (right click on the message, schedule meeting, reply to all from Sent folder, insert/send a hyperlink to someone etc.) I was very very much dissapinted and upset.

I could not believe that this "upgraded" version of Notes was designed that poorly.

WOW.... but wait - some of our users still on 6.5 client what a disaster that thing is...

90% of end users just want to be able to send/receive/search their mail and have intuitive interface which is not even near while trying to use Notes.

Also you have to be a developer to use most of those features (creating workspaces etc.) but who does that? very few...

even for the admins to deal with those tempales and documents, certifiers, expired id's and many HD calls every day...

I just hate this stone age application... it doesn't make any logical sense for regular users to be using it.]]>
