Hi,
I have some code I use all the time I use to download a file:
if (-e '/report.pdf') {
open(PDF, '/report.pdf') or die "could not open PDF $!";
binmode PDF;
my $output = do { local $/; <PDF> };
close(PDF);
$r->content_type('application/pdf');
$r->err_headers_out->add('Content-Disposition' =>
'attachment; filename="report.pdf"');
$r->print($output);
}
I've never had a problem before using the above until trying to do it on a
new machine. On that machine every time I still get prompted to download the
file but FF/IE says its only 20 bytes (even though the pdf is 200k on the
file system) and what is downloaded is not what is on the filesystem.
I tried different files, different paths etc with the same results so I
don't think it's a location or permissions issue.
The only thing that gets logged in the attempt is:
TIGHT LOOP!!!: Apache2::RequestRec=SCALAR(0x47e2f78) can't
Apache2::RequestRec::print!
Any ideas how I could further debug that error to find the cause?
TIA!
-Chris
