Re: [fw-mvc] Force download question

Try sending "Cache-Control: private" headers. IE needs to have the file in its cache before it can hand it off to a plugin. It's probably the same with attachments.

Hi Lionel,

Thanks for the code.  Here's what I tried and ran into the same
problem.  Other browsers work (Safari and Firefox), but IE6 errors
out.  It will display a prompt to save the file.  The Name shows
"download-jpg".  I click Save and then I get an error about not being
able to connect to the server.  I'm copy / pasting the code.  Does it
look like I did anything different?  Also, I'm using ZF 1.7.5.  I'm
not sure, but I don't think I can update to 1.8.1 on this particular
project right now as we're in the middle of launch and I think the
upgrade would bring up other issues.  Which version of ZF are you on?

       public function downloadJpgAction() {
               $data = @file_get_contents(Zend_Registry::get('rootdir').'/htdocs/Images/Brian_Henninger.jpg');


               $response = $this->_response;

               if (strlen($data) == 0) {
                       $response->setBody("Sorry, we could not find the requested download file.");
               } else {
              $response->setHeader('Content-type','image/jpg', true);

              $response->setHeader('Content-Type','application/octet-stream', true);
              $response->setHeader('Content-Disposition','attachment;

filename="Brian_Henninger.jpg"', true);
              $response->setHeader('Content-length',strlen($data), true);

              $response->setBody($data);

               }
               $this->_helper->layout()->disableLayout();
               $this->_helper->viewRenderer->setNoRender(true);
       }
