I am using cfcontent type="application/unknown" to download a .txt file and get a Save As dialog box. This worked fine with 2000, but no longer works with XP, Service Pack 2.
So I changed the type to text/plain, or text/comma. The problem is that when I display the text file on the screen, and do Save As in Internet Explorer, the file type defaults automatically to HTML, and the filename that I gave the file is ignored. Here is the code:
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="filename=QBERslt.txt" >
<cfcontent reset="Yes" type="text/plain" file="#application.AsciiFile#"
deletefile="No">
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this might be happening?
