Problem with forced downloads via HTTP headers..

[Magnetotron]

Hello,

Can anyone verify / solve the problem I am having with downloading an
image..

The following test works fine in every browser I've tried except in mozilla
for windows. Mozilla appends .php to the file name when prompted to save or
open. In IE, I can save it to disk or open it, and the associated program
opens the file. In Mozilla, it can't open the file because it displays the
file like ... somefile.jpg.php

Any ideas why?

<?php
$fpath = "../tmp/";
$fname = "somefile.jpg";

header( "Pragma: no-cache\n" );
header( "Content-type: image/jpg\n" );
header( "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$fname\"\n" );
header( "Content-transfer-encoding: binary\n" );
header( "Content-length: " . filesize($fpath . $fname) . "\n" );

$fd = fopen($fpath . $fname, 'rb');

while( !feof($fd) )
{
echo fread($fd, 4096);
flush();
}
fclose( $fd );
?>

Should be image/jpeg.

Don't know if that is the problem but its worth a shot right now,
mozilla usually is more trusting with reading headers than IE.

Ok, I changed it to image/jpeg, and now the filename is....
somefile.jpg.jpeg

No matter what I do, Mozilla for windows wants to append another extension
on the filename based on the mime type. Mozilla under linux works fine...
