You shouldn't need to call the script with the filename, and it
might not be desireable or practical. The ContentType I believe has
worked for me. I can't remember off hand, I'd have to check the
details at work. I know Content-Disposition is often required for
emails though as is perfectly legit MIME.
This seems to be a general ASP problem, not just Apache::ASP. There
are plenty of IIS ASP BinaryWrite and filename problems on
groups.google.com (Content-disposition being one solution).
P.S. With PDFs there are additional problems with the Acrobat reader
plug-in. One in particular was the need to set the Content-Length.
