[PHP] file download in IE
Hi! How on earth do I make Internet Explorer to download a file generated with: header(Content-type: application/octet-stream); header(Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$fname); include($this-dir . $fname); exit; It works on http but I need it on https and if I try to download it through https Internet explorer says it can't find the website.. after it asks me if I want to save the file. I have checked the page and it works with: netscape under windows and konqueror, galeon, netscape under linux. I have seen reports on the web about this feature of Internet explorer and they all say to download some service pack.. I have updated my internet explorer to the latest 6 version with all the updates on the web but it still does not work! Anyone knows a workaround for this? I don't want to do it with header (Location: somefile) because the file that I want to make available for download is outside the webroot and i want it to be accessible only through my script. Thanks a lot! Eagerly waiting for a response, Mihai -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I think this is only an issue with an un-patched IE5.01, anything higher than that should work fine. .b -Original Message- From: Negrea Mihai [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 23 April 2002 12:26 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] file download in IE Hi!
