Hi
I have just installed abyss webserver.Very user friendly.But I have a problem.I have set mime type for hta files as application/hta.However when ever I browse to the hta file, instead of it being opened in the browser like html file,I get a download prompt.What am I doing wrong.Please guide me.I want hta to be opened in a separate window outside of the browser instead of being dloaded. |

You wrote the mime type setting wrong
Use: text/html html htm
Edit: What is a hta file ? |

Surely you need to read up on what a hta file is before you decide he has the mime type wrong ? Just because it sounds a bit like htm, doesn't mean it is...
Have a read of http://www.hyperwrite.com.au/features/html_applications.htm
I'm pretty sure if you link to a HTA it will always ask the user if they want to open the file from the current location or download it. If they open it from the current location it will run the HTA - there's no way to get it to run automatically, that would be a nightmare for net security! |

HTA is executable code, MHT is a web archive ? Looks like we need some more refreshing :lol: |

And I know neither HTA or MHT; so I need a crash course. I guess I'll have to Google it. Is HTA used for intranets?

zdr,
There is nothing wrong with this behavior since HTA files are meant to run as an application on your computer (and not on the web site or the browser).
For those who want to test HTA. Open notepad, copy and paste the following code:
| Code: | <HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>HTA Test</TITLE>
<HTA:APPLICATION ID="MyTestApp"
APPLICATIONNAME="test"
BORDER="sunken"
CAPTION="yes"
SHOWINTASKBAR="yes"
SINGLEINSTANCE="yes"
SYSMENU="no"
WINDOWSTATE="normal">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
My 1st HTA application. Press Alt+F4 to close it.
</BODY>
</HTML> |
Save it as test.hta and double click on the file. More information about HTA is available in http://msdn.microsoft.com .

Oh... wow... that is the coolest thing I have ever seen. Someone talked about security problems if it were automatically ran. How would it be a security issue?

iNaNimAtE,
Someone can put in the hta code a javascript that can do something bad to your computer. But that's very hard to do since javascript is designed to not allow such things (except when there are flaws or bugs in it).

Sorry... "format c:" is an ongoing joke I used to talk about with a lot of people, and it just develops from there.
