*sigh* ok, I've got this old chestnut - *again*
<cfcontent type="application/unknown" reset="YES"> <CFHEADER NAME="content-disposition" VALUE="attachment; filename=""#original_doc_name#"""> <cfcontent file="#outside_root_path##doc_name#" deletefile="No" type="application/unknown"> Trying to get a file to download with the filename in the save as box. Cannot use inline as some users report activex errors when we do this (the small box at the top left of the page) So - we're using attachment - only the name of the cf template appears in the save as dialogue (IE5.5) Worse still - if using win98, it actually downloads an HTML file instead of the real file (unless the user 'opens' the file, then 'opens' it again then 'saves')!!!!!! WinNT IE5.5 comes up with the correct name if a user presses save even though the original filename comes up with the name of the cf template. I've tried reading RFC 2616 and changed the MIME type to application/octet-stream as the recommended default unknown MIME type - no effect I've tried the Allaire forums and used multiple escaped " (also as per rfc2616) for the filename param of 'content-disposition' - to no avail. In saw a possible fix in the forums which involved using "download.cfm/#filename#" in the url, but the owner claimed that he couldn't get it to work on CF4.5, only CF5 and this particular site *has* to be on CF4.5 (for now) can anyone help me beat my personal nemesis? I come across this time and time again and I'm a very weary traveller. ------------------------------------------------------- Rich Wild Senior Web Developer ------------------------------------------------------- e-mango.com ltd Tel: 01202 587 400 Lansdowne Place Fax: 01202 587 401 17 Holdenhurst Road Bournemouth Mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] BH8 8EW, UK http://www.e-mango.com ------------------------------------------------------- This message may contain information which is legally privileged and/or confidential.
