I did get carried away abit with the redirection, I was thrahing around by that time. Interestingly you haven't use content-dispostion either. In the end I created 2 scripts, one to archive and dump the file somewhere there server could see it before handing it to another to redirect. The redirect I practically lift out of Chp 4 of the Eagle book. The first script ends with a return REDIRECT; and the second ends with an return OK; I have a sneaky feeling that I may be doing that wrong and should return OK with both and set the status as you have done. I too read soemwhere that the content-dispostion wasn't always correctly implemented. MS do have a doc on their knowledge base (q260519) about content-dispostion so they seem to think they implement it correctly. Thanx Perrin. You have been v. patient.
