Send the mime type as : application/vnd.ms-project
I do this with excel using application/vnd.ms-excel and the marketing folks love it.
So, you would have to provide a link to your modperl app that opens the file and pushes it out with this content type.
Bonus Points : Use
Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=blabla
and pre-set the name of the file on disk.

Subject: How do I force a 'Save Window?'
I have file upload working, can upload files of ascii or binary format.
But a problem when you browse to a page that dynamically displays
hyperlinks to files. Text and html files display normally in a browser,
and Word docs popup MS Word as a helper app, and the word doc
opens fine. But MS Project files popup a browser instance and MS
Project, and you get the usual "Enable macros" and such popups as
normal, but only a subset of the project displays in the browser window,
and none of the buttons are active in the Project application. Bummer.
How can I force a "Save File" dialog screen for selected files, so the
userwill have the option to download the file, then open it in Project or
whatever?
Thanks for any help or information.
