In safari, you might notice sometimes a file might open in safari, and sometimes the same type of file might automatically be downloaded to the computer. How could i achieve similar functionality form a UIWebView. I don't want to check the file types individual and then download because it could be a file with a extension i don't know of, or forgot to add, and then sometimes it should be opened in the UIWebView itself. I just don't know how to check if that file is meant to be downloaded automatically anyways.

Try to compare the url file type with the list of file type the UIWebView can handle. For that list, you can refer to Technical Q&A QA1630
