[PHP] File download + HTTP auth problem.

2002-11-05 Thread Rodolfo Gonzalez
Hello,

I have this simple script called index.php in a directory protected with
HTTP auth (require valid-user):

?php
  $archivo = '/somewhere/out/docroot/registro.csv';
  header('Content-Type: application/octect-stream');
  header('Content-Length: '.filesize($archivo));
  header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=registro.csv');
  readfile($archivo);
?

When I access the directory with Netscape/Mozilla/Galeon it works fine, 
Apache asks the login and password and the script sends the file. But 
with MSIE 6.x (from Windows XP) it does not work: it presents the download 
dialog asking to save or open the file, but then MSIE reports an error 
and does not download the file. I discovered later that Konqueror asks for 
the login and password again when the download starts. What could be 
causing this?. Thanks in advance.

Rodolfo.

Simply, HTTP Authentification
Header(WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm='something')
does not work with microsoft product, so you need to buy Microsoft
authentification from Microsoft to do  something like it.
