Interesting way to do it, not what I intended. Have you 100% confirmed
that the header is being passed back correctly? I am not sure how Apache
(or whatever web server you are using) handles setting the type, it
might be finding it from somewhere else that is overriding it. There is
a module for Firefox/Mozilla called "Live HTTP Headers" that will help
you confirm what is being sent.

Hi Wiggins.
I tried your suggestion to confirm what the header being sent is via...

   http://web-sniffer.net/

And it looks like what I'm intending to send out is being sent out.... Just ain't sending enuff, I reckon...

Tony.
P.S. By the way, I previously have tried determining the length of the file to be sent and setting Content-Length to $filesize. But that didn't seem to make a difference...
