TWebLocalBinaryFile / TWebLocalTextFile - only local hosted applications ?

This component uses an API that is already functional in Chrome. It is part of the web standards, so it is expected that other browser should in the future also start supporting this. Given this specific functionality that requires specific security handling at browser level, this is something that needs to be provided through the browser API and is not something we can create a workaround for.

I've made a Web Core apllication with some features based on TWebLocalBinaryFile , requesting data from an XData server. Everything perfect when accesing the application from the same device where it is hosted, but it didn't work after I deployed it to a server. It works when accessing locally from server, but not from other devices.
Initally I thought it could be an IIS issue, so I also ran it with TMS Web Server, and it's the same. No Save As dialog when accessing from remote.

Does it has to do with the security handling Bruno wrote about in the quoted post above?
Is there any security and/or network configuration at browser level to make it work when remotely hosted?

Well,
I just changed the code to use Application.DownloadBinaryFile, and problem is gone!
