ISAPI responding an attachment with mime like file

[Shiv Kumar]

Sorry, you lost me.

Are you trying to get your ISAPI to send a file?

You have a link on your web page that when the users clicks, will show him
the "Save As" dialog?

If you know how to stream the file out from your ISAPI, then you're ok. All
you need to do is set the ContentType to "application/octetstream" (without
the quotes) instead of say "image/jpeg". If you're not sure how to stream
back an image, take a look at my web site for tutorials on the same.

You should add CustomHeader -

Content-Disposition:

is the name and

attachment; filename="myfilename.zip"

is the value.

So browser receives:

Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="myfilename.zip"

IE will display Save As dialog and will sugest myfilename.zip as filename
for saved file.
