I am writing some regression tests in WatiN and needed to make a couple POST web requests. The requests are working fine but I get an annoying dialog box asking me if I want to save the file or find a program online to open it. The line of code that is causing this is:
browser.Navigate2(ref uri, ref nflags, ref ntargetFrame,
ref dataBytes, ref headers);
Is anyone familiar with the Navigate2() method? Any idea on how to get rid of this download box?
Here is my answer:
The Navigate2() method looks like this:
HRESULT Navigate2(
VARIANT *URL,
VARIANT *Flags,
VARIANT *TargetFrameName,
VARIANT *PostData,
VARIANT *Headers
);
the flags can be defined as enum BrowserNavConstants like this:
typedef enum BrowserNavConstants {
navOpenInNewWindow = 0x1,
navNoHistory = 0x2,
navNoReadFromCache = 0x4,
navNoWriteToCache = 0x8,
navAllowAutosearch = 0x10,
navBrowserBar = 0x20,
navHyperlink = 0x40,
navEnforceRestricted = 0x80,
navNewWindowsManaged = 0x0100,
navUntrustedForDownload = 0x0200,
navTrustedForActiveX = 0x0400,
navOpenInNewTab = 0x0800,
navOpenInBackgroundTab = 0x1000,
navKeepWordWheelText = 0x2000,
navVirtualTab = 0x4000,
navBlockRedirectsXDomain = 0x8000,
navOpenNewForegroundTab = 0x10000
} BrowserNavConstants;
I used navUnstrustedForDownload and it did away with the download box. Hope this helps someone somewhere
