File download problems with IIS6.0

Hi there,

I'm having trouble with my first IIS6.0 on Windows Server 2003.

The web site works fine: all ASP pages are processed and displayed normally.
The problem is we are not able to download any files from the site (pdf,
zip, doc, ...) When you click on a link pointing to one of these files (or
if you write the file's absolute URL in the address bar of IE) you get the
normal Open or Save as dialog. Whichever option you choose, the next window
is an error message stating that the file cannot be downloaded. The strange
part is that everything else is working fine, it is file download what
fails, exclusively.

Is this something that needs to be enabled in IIS6.0? Do you know anything
about this issue? All help will be very welcome.

Thanks a lot,

Manuel Delgado

Hi, I have been using the code (some of it has been removed for simplicity) below to allow authenticated (using ASP.NET membership database) users to get a file from their archive area. It seems to work fine, however I noticed that no web log entry is added when a successful download occurs (normally a 200 HTTP status code, however, if there is an authorization failure, it gets logged). I have a logging routine that logs a successful...

Note: You may skip to the end of the article if all you want is the perl code. Introduction Many websites have a form or a link you can use to download a file.
