Hi Aseem,

Try:

<@assign name="encodeResults" scope="local" value="false">

<@assign name="httpHeader" scope="local" value="Content-type:
application/msword<@char code=13><@char code=10>Content-Length: <@var
local$fileInfo[1,FileSize]><@char code=13><@char
code=10>Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=<@dq>some-downloaded-document.doc<@dq><@char code=13><@char
code=10><@USERREFERENCECOOKIE><@char code=13><@char code=10>">

Here's a version of the above, but with phyiscal line-breaks instead of
"<@char code=13><@char code=10>" to help make it more readable:

<@assign name="httpHeader" scope="local" value="
Content-type: application/msword
Content-Length: <@var local$fileInfo[1,FileSize]>
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=<@dq>some-downloaded-document.doc<@dq>
<@USERREFERENCECOOKIE>
">

Obviously, you can place a variable for your download filename instead of
"some-downloaded-document.doc"

These properties are part of the HTTP standard and should work for all
browsers.

Hope this helps. Cheers....

Subject: Witango-Talk: Enforce Download


Is there a way I can enforce downloading a given file (like a pdf
document or Excel sheet), so that the user is forced to download it and
not open the document withing the browser, like IE does for excel &
pdf's.

Someone, any ideas?

-Aseem.
