Re: cfcontent

Robert,

 

On the line that says: <cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="inline; filename=#varFile#"> replace it with this:

<CFHEADER NAME="Content-Disposition" VALUE="attachment;filename=#varFile#">.

 

I believe that this should work in CF4.5, but I'm not entirely sure. I use MX 6.1, and it works with that. In theory what should happen is that when this page is executed, a file dialog will pop-up asking the user to download the file as specified in the variable #varFile#.

 

Thanks,

Here is the code I am using. It still just displays instead of forcing a download. I should mention that this website is still running on CF 4.5

 

Should I move it over to CF 7

 

<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="inline; filename=#varFile#">
<CFCONTENT TYPE="application/unknown" reset="yes" file="#varwebpath#\ftp\ftpfiles\#varFile#" >

Robert,

 

Try this:

 

 <CFHEADER NAME="Content-Disposition" VALUE="attachment;filename=#filename#.jpg">

 <cfcontent type="application/unknown" reset="Yes">

 

This will force an unknown mime-type to the browser, and will result in a download diaglog.

 

Also, if you use this, its good pratice to use <cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="yes"> to surpress white space.

 

Thanks,

 

Jordan
