            Description

            When using the ice:dataExporter with a browser with popup-blocking enabled (Safari, FF, etc.) the data export will fail, unless the user disables popup blocking in the browser. In Safari, it's particularly bad as the browser does not give any indication that the popup is being blocked, leaving the user to wonder why his export isn't working.

            If possible, we should rework the dataExporter to avoid trigger popup blockers. I've noticed that the ice:outputResource component manages to download files without triggering it, so perhaps it could be used as a reference for the proper technique.
