To force the save window is easy - make up your own content subtype (main
type application) and set it:
Content-Type: application/x-download-this-file-you-stupid-browser
Remember to start with an x- as your type is obviously not registered with
the IANA.
The tricky part is setting up

Thanks all for the great suggestions. This group is wonderfully helpful.
I tried the quick route, setting MIME type to application/octet-stream,
and that works fine for xl spreadsheets, but I still get the same behavior
as before with MS Project files (browser IE 5.00.3105.0106, which is one

In either document you'll see that application/octet-stream does not force a
save window because IE classifies it as an ambiguous type.
Note that you can always tell

Dennis,
Microsoft has documentation on how IE handles MIME types,
content-disposition headers, etc. It may be out of date, and not
accurate,
but it's certainly worth reading. Have a look at:

Bonus Points : Use
Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=blabla
and pre-set the name of the file on disk.
I tried it hard (in my case I generate PDF files. No way. Internet
Explorer ignored it. Finally I decided to perform redirect to URL
ending with /blabla.pdf - then it worked
/octet-stream' ) ;
$r-send_http_header;
and for their XP boxes it opens properly in browser ( same
for project ). They are posting to index.html in this case
but get the filename properly.
On my mac os x I actually get a file named 'report.xls' in
my save dialog.
So, as often
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

You can always set the content type to application/octet-steam but I
wouldn't expect IE to honor the content type.

For IE 5.5, IE doesn't respect the Content-Disposition header and will
prompt the user to save a file as foo.pl (or whatever the name of your
script happens to be)
M$ claims that this was fixed in IE 5.5 SP1.
They document this bug (as fixed) here:

I think you should check the httpd.conf. You should tell the Apache to
handle the *.cgi or *.pl in some dir as CGI programs.
