Hi!

I have a script which sends the following headers in order to get the
client to display a "file save" prompt.

> header ("Content-Type: application/octet-stream"); 
> header ("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename"); 
> readfile($filename); 

This works well on Netscape/lynx. However, IE 5.5 has a problem with this -
I get a message saying that the "file could not be found". Looked around
online, some sites say that this is an IE-specific issue with MIME-type
recognition. 

However, I see sites like yahoo and deja allowing users to download email
attachments using a similar technique, and that works fine on IE. Any ideas
on what I'm doing wrong here?

TIA!

Vikram
