RE: Content-Disposition

I'm all set, I had to use err_headers_out for some reason so,

$r->err_headers_out->add('Content-Disposition' => 'attachment; filename="' . $download_name . '"');

Works.

Thanks for the reply Earle, I actually did try both "attachment" and "inline" and neither worked (I should have said that in the org post).

I have done it before using something like:

print “Content-Disposition:attachment;filename=$download_name\n”;

So maybe try:

$r->header_out( 'Content-Disposition' => 'attachment; filename="' . $download_name . '"');

Hello,

I'm guessing there is a real simple answer to my question but as uasual, I can't find it :)

Simply put I'm trying to create a Zip file and push it to the user using a filename I've defined. Everything works except the name of the file that comes up in the browser dialog. It always defaults to the script/location name. I thought that all I needed was Content-Disposition but that doesn't seem to be working.

CentOS 5.5, mod_perl 2.0.4, apache 2.2.3 (both mod_perl and apache should be backported via yum update).

my $zip = Archive::Zip->new();

my $member = $zip->addString('yadda yadda yadda');

my $download_name = 'download.zip';

if ( $zip->writeToFileNamed('someothernamed.zip');

open(ZIP, 'someothernamed.zip') or die "could not open sonz $!";

binmode ZIP;

my $output = do { local $/; <ZIP> };

close(ZIP);

$r->content_type('application/zip');

$r->header_out( 'Content-Disposition' => 'inline; filename="' . $download_name . '"');

$r->send_http_header;

print $output;

return Apache2::Const::OK;

}

I tried setting the header before the content_type and with and without "send_http_header". What am I doing wrong? How can I get the user to be prompted to save the file as "download.zip??

TIA!
