I really hoped that this would have nailed it but alas, no. I am getting a download dialogue prompt but I'm not able to configure a filename for the download. I tried a few variations with header_out. Specifying a location rather than a internal_redirect to see if that would ensure I was setting the headers. I tried to end the handler with a REDIRECT rather than an OK status, thinking that this was a really a redirect. I also tried to pass the handler to another but that didn't work either. I also had a look at RFC 2183 which refers mostly to MTUs but seems to suggest thst content-disposition is the correct header. Content does appear to be set, the value of $content below is content = inline;filename=Myzip.zip. I have tried attachment as well out of sheer desperation. ... print STDERR "redirecting, length=$length, "; $r->header_out( 'Content-Disposition' => 'inline;filename=Myzip.zip', 'Location' => 'http://austin/Myzip.zip' ); my $content = $r->header_out('Content-Disposition'); print STDERR "content = $content\n"; # $r->internal_redirect("http://austin/Myzip.zip"); return REDIRECT; } 1; If anyone has any pointers, I'd be grateful. Thanx. Dp.
