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.
