Hello all,
I have a script that successfully provides a user with an open/save
confirmation dialog box when downloading a file, and the correct filename
displays in the file name edit box (thanks to Content-Disposition). But
when the file actually starts to download, the title bar of the IE download
box says something to the effect of, "10% of blah.php Completed" and so on,
instead of saying, "10% of ActualFileName.exe Completed." (By the way, this
is IE6.0 under XP Pro). I understand that's technically correct, especially
since blah.php is the file that opened and is actually printing the
contents of ActualFileName.exe, but this is confusing for users who think
they are downloading the blah.php file instead (even though the file name
edit box displayed the correct file name).
My current work-around is to have ActualFileName.exe be a PHP script that
opens ActualFileName.exe (the REAL ActualFileName.exe) and prints it out.
And I only have Apache using PHP to process .EXE files in that one
directory. But I'm curious as to whether there's a better way to do this,
or whether I'm stuck on a technicality?
Thanks.
