问题是在生成文件时有一个“等待”指示器，然后在文件下载后恢复正常。我喜欢这样做的方式是使用一个隐藏的iFrame和钩子帧的onload事件，让我的页面知道什么时候开始下载。

但是onload不会在Internet Explorer中触发文件下载(就像使用附件头令牌一样)。轮询服务器是可行的，但我不喜欢这种额外的复杂性。这就是我所做的:

目标隐藏iFrame像往常一样。 生成内容。用 2分钟内绝对超时。 发送JavaScript重定向回 调用客户端，本质上调用 第二次生成页面。注意:这将导致在Internet Explorer中触发onload事件，因为它就像一个普通页面一样。 从缓存中删除内容并 发送给客户端。

免责声明:不要在繁忙的站点上这样做，因为缓存会增加。但实际上，如果您的站点非常繁忙，那么长时间运行的进程无论如何都会耗尽您的线程。

下面是隐藏代码的样子，这是您真正需要的。

public partial class Download : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlControl Body;

    protected void Page_Load( object sender, EventArgs e )
    {
        byte[ ] data;
        string reportKey = Session.SessionID + "_Report";

        // Check is this page request to generate the content
        //    or return the content (data query string defined)
        if ( Request.QueryString[ "data" ] != null )
        {
            // Get the data and remove the cache
            data = Cache[ reportKey ] as byte[ ];
            Cache.Remove( reportKey );

            if ( data == null )
                // send the user some information
                Response.Write( "Javascript to tell user there was a problem." );
            else
            {
                Response.CacheControl = "no-cache";
                Response.AppendHeader( "Pragma", "no-cache" );
                Response.Buffer = true;

                Response.AppendHeader( "content-disposition", "attachment; filename=Report.pdf" );
                Response.AppendHeader( "content-size", data.Length.ToString( ) );
                Response.BinaryWrite( data );
            }
            Response.End();
        }
        else
        {
            // Generate the data here. I am loading a file just for an example
            using ( System.IO.FileStream stream = new System.IO.FileStream( @"C:\1.pdf", System.IO.FileMode.Open ) )
                using ( System.IO.BinaryReader reader = new System.IO.BinaryReader( stream ) )
                {
                    data = new byte[ reader.BaseStream.Length ];
                    reader.Read( data, 0, data.Length );
                }

            // Store the content for retrieval
            Cache.Insert( reportKey, data, null, DateTime.Now.AddMinutes( 5 ), TimeSpan.Zero );

            // This is the key bit that tells the frame to reload this page
            //   and start downloading the content. NOTE: Url has a query string
            //   value, so that the content isn't generated again.
            Body.Attributes.Add("onload", "window.location = 'binary.aspx?data=t'");
        }
    }

如果您下载了一个文件，该文件是保存的，而不是在文档中，则无法确定下载何时完成，因为它不在当前文档的范围内，而是浏览器中的一个单独进程。

当用户触发文件的生成时，您可以简单地为“下载”分配一个唯一的ID，并将用户发送到每隔几秒钟刷新(或使用AJAX检查)的页面。一旦文件完成，将其保存在相同的唯一ID和…

如果文件已经准备好，请进行下载。 如果文件尚未准备好，请显示进度。

然后你可以跳过整个iframe/waiting/browserwindow的混乱，而有一个真正优雅的解决方案。

这个Java/Spring示例检测下载的结束，在这一点上它隐藏了“Loading…”指示符。

方法:在JavaScript方面，设置一个最大过期时间为2分钟的cookie，并每秒钟轮询一次cookie过期时间。然后服务器端用更早的过期时间覆盖这个cookie——服务器进程的完成。一旦在JavaScript轮询中检测到cookie过期，“Loading…”就会被隐藏。

JavaScript的一面

function buttonClick() { // Suppose this is the handler for the button that starts
    $("#loadingProgressOverlay").show();  // Show loading animation
    startDownloadChecker("loadingProgressOverlay", 120);
    // Here you launch the download URL...
    window.location.href = "myapp.com/myapp/download";
}

// This JavaScript function detects the end of a download.
// It does timed polling for a non-expired Cookie, initially set on the
// client-side with a default max age of 2 min.,
// but then overridden on the server-side with an *earlier* expiration age
// (the completion of the server operation) and sent in the response.
// Either the JavaScript timer detects the expired cookie earlier than 2 min.
// (coming from the server), or the initial JavaScript-created cookie expires after 2 min.
function startDownloadChecker(imageId, timeout) {

    var cookieName = "ServerProcessCompleteChecker";  // Name of the cookie which is set and later overridden on the server
    var downloadTimer = 0;  // Reference to the timer object

    // The cookie is initially set on the client-side with a specified default timeout age (2 min. in our application)
    // It will be overridden on the server side with a new (earlier) expiration age (the completion of the server operation),
    // or auto-expire after 2 min.
    setCookie(cookieName, 0, timeout);

    // Set a timer to check for the cookie every second
    downloadTimer = window.setInterval(function () {

        var cookie = getCookie(cookieName);

        // If cookie expired (NOTE: this is equivalent to cookie "doesn't exist"), then clear "Loading..." and stop polling
        if ((typeof cookie === 'undefined')) {
            $("#" + imageId).hide();
            window.clearInterval(downloadTimer);
        }

    }, 1000); // Every second
}

// These are helper JavaScript functions for setting and retrieving a Cookie
function setCookie(name, value, expiresInSeconds) {
    var exdate = new Date();
    exdate.setTime(exdate.getTime() + expiresInSeconds * 1000);
    var c_value = escape(value) + ((expiresInSeconds == null) ? "" : "; expires=" + exdate.toUTCString());
    document.cookie = name + "=" + c_value + '; path=/';
}

function getCookie(name) {
    var parts = document.cookie.split(name + "=");
    if (parts.length == 2 ) {
        return parts.pop().split(";").shift();
    }
}

Java/Spring服务器端

    @RequestMapping("/download")
    public String download(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
        //... Some logic for downloading, returning a result ...

        // Create a Cookie that will override the JavaScript-created
        // Max-Age-2min Cookie with an earlier expiration (same name)
        Cookie myCookie = new Cookie("ServerProcessCompleteChecker", "-1");
        myCookie.setMaxAge(0); // This is immediate expiration, but can also
                               // add +3 seconds for any flushing concerns
        myCookie.setPath("/");
        response.addCookie(myCookie);
        //... -- presumably the download is writing to the Output Stream...
        return null;
}

如果XMLHttpRequest和一个blob不是一个选项，那么你可以在一个新窗口中打开你的文件，并检查是否有任何元素被填充到该窗口体中。

var form = document.getElementById("frmDownlaod"); form.setAttribute("action", "downoad/url"); form.setAttribute("target", "downlaod"); var exportwindow = window.open("", "downlaod", "width=800,height=600,resizable=yes"); form.submit(); var responseInterval = setInterval(function() { var winBody = exportwindow.document.body if(winBody.hasChildNodes()) // Or 'downoad/url' === exportwindow.document.location.href { clearInterval(responseInterval); // Do your work. // If there is an error page configured in your application // for failed requests, check for those DOM elements. } }, 1000) // Better if you specify the maximum number of intervals

如果你不想在服务器上生成和存储文件，你是否愿意存储状态，例如文件进行中，文件完成?您的“等待”页面可以轮询服务器以了解文件生成何时完成。您不能确定是浏览器启动了下载，但您有一定的信心。
