Might not solve your problem, but had to do this to force a download in
a previous project....
<!--- IE 5.5 has bug and need to give it slightly diff header info --->
<cfif FindNoCase("MSIE 5.5",CGI.USER_AGENT) GT 0>
<cfheader name="content-disposition"
value="filename=#sFileName#">
<cfelse>
<cfheader name="content-disposition" value="attachment;
filename=#sFileName#">
</cfif>
<cfcontent type="text/comma-separated-value">

Subject: IE 5 on Win2K bug perhaps????
We've come across a very interesting issue here. We have several
applications that generate downloadable Excel spreadsheets or Word
documents. We're using cookies as part of our
authentication/authorization process and we're running CF 5 on Win2K
Server.
The way were generating the document headers as follows: <CFHEADER
NAME="Content-Disposition" VALUE="FILENAME=NameHere"> <CFCONTENT
TYPE="application/vnd.ms-word"> OR <CFCONTENT
TYPE="application/vnd.ms-excel"> depending.
Note: We're running an Application.cfm file that checks for the
cookies mentioned above and stops/flags the application if they are
missing.
It seems that with a client OS/Browser combination of IE 5 and Win2K
Professional, when you go to download the file, the content type and
possibly the header are sent BEFORE the Application.cfm is run, thus
causing either a blank file or a file with the Application.cfm message
regarding missing authentication (cookies) displayed. The application
works on any other OS/Browser combination we're able to test. We've
tried it on several machines running Win2K and IE 5 with the same
failure results. Win2K with
NS 4x, 6x, 7 and IE 6x work fine. IE 6 on XP is fine. Has anybody
seen
this before or have you seen any info on this? Part of it reeks of a
browser issue, however I don't understand the part about the CFCONTENT
type being sent to the browser BEFORE the Application.cfm stops it.
Thanks for any insight.
Regards,
Dave
