I do a write blob with that content type there is additional

Use 'clear response buffer' before writing the blob.
I tried that again. Immediately before send blob.
There are 2 carriage returns at the top of the output file and
iCal doesn't like it.
I manually removed the returns and it imported fine.
You manually removed the returns after downloading?
That's what I had to do to get iCal to import the file. iCal would
complain if the data did not start at the first char of file.
If I used the commands:
clear response buffer
set response buffer($OutBlob_x;"text/calendar")
The resulting file received by visitor has 2 Line Feed chars at the
top of the file:
<LF>
<LF>
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
X-WR-CALNAME:erc2.leddyconsulting.com
METHOD:PUBLISH
...
if I use the commands:
clear response buffer
write blob ($OutBlob_x;"application/calendar")
The resulting file is sent "correctly". It begins simply:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
X-WR-CALNAME:erc2.leddyconsulting.com
METHOD:PUBLISH
...
With no leading characters.
using: Write Blob($OutBlob_x;"text/calendar") also sends the leading
line feeds.
as long as the mime type begins "text/" it seems to include them
Here is the complete text of my code after the blob has been created:
set response header("Content-Disposition";"attachment;filename="+
$HostName_t+".ics")
set cache control("private")
clear response buffer
write blob ($OutBlob_x;"application/calendar")
// set response buffer($OutBlob_x;"text/calendar") // this still put
a couple LF's at the top of the file
