I am writing an ASP page for downloading some files, such as jpg, doc
which are known MIME type. I want to force user save these files through
a "file download" dialog instead of open them on the IE by default. I
search the Internet and found the best way to do it is by using stream.
The following is my code for the download.asp. There are 2 problems, one
is when I use firefox and click the link to download.asp, I found the
system become slower and slower, it seems the CPU usage become very high.
Another problem is when I use the right button of my mice on the link to
download.asp, and choose "save as", it will not save the doc file, it
saves download.asp. Please help me, thanks!
