title: Automated filedownload using WebBrowser without url
body: <p>I've been working on a WebCrawler written in C# using System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser. I am trying to download a file off a website and save it on a local machine. More importantly, I would like this to be fully automated. The file download can be started by clicking a button that calls a javascript function that sparks the download displaying a “Do you want to open or save this file?” dialog. I definitely do not want to be manually clicking “Save as”, and typing in the file name. </p>
  
  <p>I am aware of HttpWebRequest and WebClient’s download functions, but since the download is started with a javascript, I do now know the URL of the file. Fyi, the javascript is a doPostBack function that changes some values and submits a form. </p>
  
  <p>I’ve tried getting focus on the save as dialog from WebBrowser to automate it from in there without much success. I know there’s a way to force the download to save instead of asking to save or open by adding a header to the http request, but I don’t know how to specify the filepath to download to. </p>
