My recommendation to you and anyone else using anything other than IIS with Tango 4, is to switch to IIS 5. Tango just seems to work much better in that environment. I lost a couple of weeks of my life dealing with these issues. They all went away when I went to IIS.

Subject: RE: Witango-Talk: HTTP Header Content-Disposition: Problem
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.
Hutch

Which webServer are you using, and what platform?

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.
