Thanks for that Mark, Do the following code snips look valid?
They result in the same file being generated and saved which is a 2k file containing the following: " ID3 " So I am guessing that the non-cfcontent version would work fine if I was doing the file read properly? Maybe? <!--- cfcontent version ---> <cffile action="READ" file="F:\sites\delivery\test_mp3.mp3" variable="yourMP3"> <cfcontent type="application/octet-stream"> <cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="Attachment; filename=test2.mp3"> <cfoutput>#yourMP3#</cfoutput> <!--- non-cfcontent version ---> <cffile action="READ" file="F:\sites\delivery\test_mp3.mp3" variable="yourMP3"> <cfheader name="Content-type" value="application/octet-stream"> <cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="Attachment; filename=test2.mp3"> <cfoutput>#yourMP3#</cfoutput> On Wed, 2003-10-29 at 17:27, Mark M wrote: > May need some fiddeling to work - as I've stolen it from a PHP script, but the > principle should > be the same: > > <cfheader name="Content-type" value="application/octet-stream"> > <cfheader name="Content-Disposition"> > <cfheader name="attachment"> > <cfheader name="filename" value="excelfile.xls"> > > HTH > > Mark > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ICQ: 3094740 > Safe From Bees > [ www.safefrombees.com ] > > > Quoting James Cowperthwaite <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > If I happened to be on a host who had disallowed the <cfcontent> tag and > > I was trying to serve a customer a file which they had just purchased, > > would there be an alternative way in coldfusion 4.5, 5 to deliver that > > file without exposing the path to the link? ie I want to be able to > > authenticate users before letting them download particular files. > > > > Can MX do this another way? > > > > Any hints? > > > > Thanks > > James > > > > > > --- > > You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > MXDU2004 + Macromedia DevCon AsiaPac + Sydney, Australia > > http://www.mxdu.com/ + 24-25 February, 2004 > > > > > > > > --- > You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > MXDU2004 + Macromedia DevCon AsiaPac + Sydney, Australia > http://www.mxdu.com/ + 24-25 February, 2004 --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MXDU2004 + Macromedia DevCon AsiaPac + Sydney, Australia http://www.mxdu.com/ + 24-25 February, 2004
