Hmmm, I tryed to force a download of a jpg file with the following code and browser tried to open the cfm page in Coldfusion Studio... Is there another way to force a download? Maybe through a Metatage or Javascript?

Is there an easy way to do this? Use cfcontent with the mime type "application/octet-stream" (due to a bug in IE, IE requires the mime type "unknown/unknown" (b*tching to [EMAIL PROTECTED] about this bug is much appreciated)).
