Hi,

I am trying to download a file in menu action js from a URL. If its a big file say 1GB, it takes more time and since no activity no browser, the browser times out after sometime.

Could I get some advise or snippet how to build a loading icon/progress bar in dojo so that the browser session stays alive or any parameter to do that.

I tried keeping timeout in xhr call as higher values, it doesnt work and the browser still times out.

Below Snippet how I am getting the data using xhr call.

var xhrArgs = {

url: URL,

sync: true,

timeout:84000

}

var deferred = dojo.xhrGet(xhrArgs);

for status bar you can use ecm/widget/dialog/StatusDialog or dojox/widget/Standby

ecm/widget/dialog/StatusDialog or dojox/widget/Standby use this.

Hi,

Maybe you can try to send a 'Ping' request to the ICN server once in a while to keep the session valid.

Thanks,

Jason

Even if I use it before xhr call, its gets called only after xhr call is completed and when the download starts which is defeating the purpose. the status dialog should appear the moment my action is called.

But like I mentioned above, its only getting called when the download begins on screen. Any suggestions.

var statusDialog = new statusDialog();

statusDialog.show();

var xhrArgs = {

url: URL,

sync: true

}

// Call the asynchronous xhrGet

var deferred = dojo.xhrGet(xhrArgs);
