Perl-CGI: Return HTML and then a file problem

07-02-2003

Hi

I run a couple of Perl-CGIs under the latest Apache on my Red Hat box. I
have now come across a problem.

From my script, I'd first like to return some HTML lines:

print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n<html><head><title>The TinyBox
pages</title>\n";

etc.

Then I'd like to return a file:

print "Content-Type:application/octet-stream
Content-Disposition:attachment; filename=results.apl
Content-Length:$content_length\n\n";

However, it seems that I cannot print
Content-Type:application/octet-stream after I have printed
Content-Type: text/html ; the file just gets printed to screen, instead of
the browser opening a file save requester.

Is there some way of "resetting" the Content-Type: string sent to Apache, or
some other way around the problem?

Thanks for your time,

JR

Not a perl question. Ask in comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi or
somewhere else relevant to server-side http issues. But the short answer
is "No".
