Hi.
I am trying to implement binary write code, and have it working with the code shown below (note: this is only sample code - this code would not be put into production and I am aware of the problems it currently has). I still have one problem which has me stumped.

Any file sent to the browser this way always takes the name of the running script. Eg, so I am streaming "test.zip" but when the file save as dialog pops up, it offers the name of "downloadTest.asp".

Try calling your script as
<a href="..../downloadTest.asp?file=test.zip">

It should trick your browser.

Thanks for the advice, but unfortunately it did not work for me.
I have found a solution which is to set "$Response->AddHeader('Content-Disposition',"attachment; filename=test.zip");"

This works fine in Konquerer, and Mozilla 1.1 on Linux, and on Windows IE, Opera, but NOT Mozilla 1.2.1.
I am guessing it might be a mozilla bug as mozilla names the downloadable file to be "test.zip.asp"

Anyone got any thoughts ?

Sorry, my original post was wrong. But this one is working for me on all browsers:
<a href="http://url/download.asp/filename.zip?.asp&file=filename.zip";>filename.zip</a>
