Another good point because I did notice during testing that I had to completely shut the browser (FF and IE) to see get the browser make the request again. I would make a little change to the handler, restart apache but the messages I printed to STDERR weren't going to the log. I suspected that as the uri /file_export wasn't changed the browser just tried to download the static page/file again. I might need to read the doc on the issuing correct headers. > Anyway, glad to hear you persevered and got it working. Congrats! I have to fight other fires now but I will look at what you've sent when I return to that part of the project again. I have a lot of tiding up to do to it and I will see if I can use one handler instead of 2. Thanx again.
