Once upon a time Larry Masinter shaped the electrons to say... >While I support using 'content-disposition' to suggest a file name, >the ultimate choice of the file type & extension should be determined >by using the Content-Type, not the suggested name. What about 'application/octet-stream' - which is used a great deal to download binary source, which much of the time is not an executable file. There is no safe assumption with this Content-Type: You can develop a complex interrelation - when does Content-Type take precedence, when does Content-Disposition? -MZ -- Livingston Enterprises - Chair, Department of Interstitial Affairs Phone: 800-458-9966 510-426-0770 FAX: 510-426-8951 megazone@livingston.com For support requests: support@livingston.com <http://www.livingston.com/> Snail mail: 6920 Koll Center Parkway #220, Pleasanton, CA 94566
