Downloading client-side generated files is possible using data-uri. However these are usually small; it would be very difficult to store a 1GB file in memory (in javascript) while you decrypted it and I doubt data-uris that large work across different browsers.
- tlrobinson 16y agoTrue, but there's no way to specify the filename and extension, so in practice you have to use Flash.
- mnutt 16y agoIt depends on the browser. Safari 5 works, but Chrome doesn't, not sure about Firefox, and I suspect IE doesn't. I use it on my torrent-conversion bookmarklet on http://hid.im http://hid.im.
