A while back I was trying to map extensions to mime types. I looked in my
registry and copied a bunch of mime types that were listed for the
extensions. This kis what I have for exe.
application/x-msdownload
maybe try that instead of application/octet-stream?

|
|
|I'm trying to allow users to download particular files which
|are executables.
|I'm also specifying the filepath for the executable.
|
|If I use some bogus mime type in the cfcontent, I get the
|download dialog box with the coldfusion file name inside of
|it such as coldfusionfile.cfm... When I save, it saves the
|executable that I have specified inside the cfcontent tag.
|I just have to rename the file from coldfusionfile.cfm to
|myexcutable.exe, and it works...
|
| I would like to eliminate the step of having the users change
|the .cfm to .exe in the "save as" box, or renaming the file
|once downloaded...
|Have tried using application/octet-stream for the file type,
|but this just shows binary data in the browser window and
|doesn't download anything.
|
|
| Thanks for any help.
