I'm
using Netscape Suitespot on a Windows 2000 platform. I'm still messing
around with the HTTP header content type and content
disposition values. That's the problem with this business, I keep
having to learn stuff ;-) I read a security bulletin the IE 6
when it evaluates a file for security goes off the content information, but when
it actually processes the file, it takes a look at the actual content and goes
from there. They were saying that was a problem as you could name an exe
file a .txt file and it would pass security, but when the download took place,
IE 6 would run the exe file. That looks like what's going on
here. I think I will need to actually build the taf, create fhe file
object on the fly with real tab delimited data and go from there. Thanks
for the help and I'll probably be back asking questions once I get this thing
built up a little.

Subject: Witango-Talk: HTTP Header Content-Disposition: Problem
I need to allow the user to download a tab delimited file. I need to force a download of the txt file and IE 6.0 insists on displaying the file. When I use the
Content-Disposition:attachment in the http header, it still goes to the screen. Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.
