Re: [fw-mvc] Force download question

Hi Ed,

Just dealt with a similar issue. Try this.

$bits =
@file_get_contents(Zend_Registry::get('rootdir').'/application/data/'.$data['uuid']);

$response = $this->_response;

if(strlen($bits) == 0) {
$response->setBody('Sorry, we could not find requested download file.');
}
else {
$response->setHeader('Content-type',$data['type'], true);
$response->setHeader('Content-Type','application/octet-stream', true);
$response->setHeader('Content-Disposition','attachment;
filename='.$data['filename'], true);
$response->setHeader('Content-length',$data['size'], true);

$response->setBody($bits);
}

You might also need to to use the following:
$this->_helper->layout()->disableLayout();
$this->_helper->viewRenderer->setNoRender(true);

I put these in a preDispatcher function but you could include them
inline as far as I know.
