Hi all. I'm streaming a file ( location of which is to be hidden from clients, hence the need to stream ). Basically I'm doing: --- session_start(); // some authentication stuff and figuring out the path goes here // ... // ... $source = "/accounts_reports/" . $_GET['id'] . ".bin"; header( "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"" . $orig . "\"" ); header( "Content-Length: " .filesize( $source ) ); header( "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" ); header( "Pragma: no-cache" ); header( "Expires: 0" ); readfile( $source ); --- This works *perfectly* with firefox. It doesn't work at all with Internet Explorer. Also ( not sure if this matters or not ), the site is accessed via https ONLY. When I click the link to my download php script, I get a dialog asking if I want to open or save the file, and then whnatever I click, I get: > Internet Explorer cannot download download.php?id=32 from IP_ADDRESS. > > Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The > requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try > again later. However, a quick check of apache's ssl access log shows that IE did in fact 'find' the site. Also, IE is producing the download dialog, which suggests that it's 'found' the download.php script fine. Now, before I get a litany of 'just use firefox then' responses, rest assured that I would take this approach if I could, but the site is for a customer, and they are in turn doing it for their customers, and this just isn't going to fly. It MUST work with IE. Who knows WTF is wrong and how I can work around it? -- Daniel Kasak IT Developer NUS Consulting Group Level 5, 77 Pacific Highway North Sydney, NSW, Australia 2060 T: (+61) 2 9922-7676 / F: (+61) 2 9922 7989 email: dkasak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx website: http://www.nusconsulting.com.au -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
