Which headers to define for file export over https?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hi folks,

I’m trying to output a .csv format file for download via php, but over a secure connection (https). I have been using the following headers, but have found that in Google Chrome, the file name is not being generated. Instead, the file is being named the same as the script generating it!?

Are these even the right headers to use? unexpected results in Safaris as well, in that when you try to open/save the file, an error occurs saying that the file has been moved and cannot be found.

Thanks

@pavsidauthorJul 29.2010 — Sorry i forgot to post the headers!!

But i have solved it anyway - i was missing a quote at the end of the filename.

For anybody else's benefit, here are the headers to use.


[code=php]
header('Content-type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="filename.csv"');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: private');
header('Pragma: cache');
[/code]

Success!
