I just thought that members of this list following this thread might
like to know the results of my experimenting with this technique:
All tests on Linux (testing on Windows 98 tomorrow):
* Mozilla 0.9.9 worked perfectly.
* Netscape 4.78 appeared to work but downloaded file was very
slightly larger than original (can't tell if that's a problem
because it's a Windows binary).
* Konqueror 2.2.1 downloaded the binary, but opened a file save
as dialog defaulted to the script name not the name in
Content-Disposition, and failed to display the HTML.
* Opera 5.05 (don't have 6.0 yet) crashes instantly and crashes
X with it!
I'll let you know (if you're interested) the results of testing on
Windows tomorrow. Look like it might have to be the meta http-equiv
refresh technique after all (although I'm worried about the browser
attempting to display the file instead of saving it with that
technique).
Thank to everyone for their help.
Best, Darren
