Download file by CFHEADER

[Shivaan Keldon]

Hi !
I try to force-download of a file by the CFHEADER tag, but my browser offer me
to save the cfm file, and not downloadable file

here my code :

<cfset ifile = "../dump/" & #url.ifile#>
<cfheader NAME="Content-Disposition"
VALUE="attachment; filename=#ifile#">

what can I do to download the ifile ?

ps : I'm a french guy, so... sorry if I don't explain my problem very well ^^

You need to use this in conjunction with cfcontent to set the MIME type of the file.

Does that make sense?

Hello (bonjour)

Maybe this can help you...
<cfheader name="Content-Length" value="#getfile.size#">
<cfheader name="Content-Type" value="application/octet-stream">
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment;filename=#url.file#">
<cfheader name="Content-Location" value="#URLEncodedFormat(url.file)#">

<cfcontent type="application/octet-stream"
file="#session.securefiles#\#url.file#">
