Hello,
I have this simple script called index.php in a directory protected with
HTTP auth (require valid-user):
<?php
$archivo = '/somewhere/out/docroot/registro.csv';
header('Content-Type: application/octect-stream');
header('Content-Length: '.filesize($archivo));
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=registro.csv');
@readfile($archivo);
?>
When I access the directory with Netscape/Mozilla/Galeon it works fine,
Apache "asks" the login and password and the script sends the file. But
with MSIE 6.x (from Windows XP) it does not work: it presents the download
dialog asking to save or open the file, but then MSIE reports an error
and does not download the file. I discovered later that Konqueror asks for
the login and password again when the download starts. What could be
causing this?. Thanks in advance.
Rodolfo.
