Why instead of doing a redirect to the file you handle it the Cake way? For
example, build an action called download in a controller called downloads.
Something like:
<?php
class DownloadsController extends AppController
{
var $name = 'Downloads';
var $downloadPath = WWW_ROOT . DS . 'upload';
function download($file)
{
$filePath = $this->downloadPath . DS . $file;
// Check against path injection
if (preg_match('/^[A-Za-z0-9_\-\.]*$/', $file) &&
is_readable($filePath))
{
$size = @filesize($filePath);
if (!headers_sent())
{
if ($size > 0)
{
header('Content-length: ' . $size);
}
header('Content-Type:
application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename='.$file);
}
readfile($filePath);
exit;
}
return $this->redirect('/');
}
}
?>
Then when you build links to your files you do them like:
<a href="/downloads/download/my_file.txt">Download</a>
Or you can also add the following route to your app/config/routes.php file:
$Route->connect('/download/*', array('controller' => 'downloads', 'action'
=> 'download'));
And then build links like:
<a href="/download/my_file.txt">Download</a>

Asunto: what can I do, when I want download files form cake build system.
I'm a newer in cakephp. I want to build a download system with cake.
I host the file at WWW_ROOT.DS.'upload'.DS.$filename

I use the code
$this->redirect("/upload/$file_name");
to download the file.
