Streaming a word doc to the browser...

[Stu]

Hi,

I have a Word document that is stored outside of the virtual server and I
need to send it to the browser. I have tried using the code below (which
seemed a little too simplistic!). The browser pops open a dialogue asking to
save a word doc but the doc is empty.
Dim f As File
f.Open("c:\test .doc", FileMode.Open)
'output file to the browser
Response.Clear( )
Response.Conten tType = "applicatio n/octet-stream; name=test.doc"
Response.AddHea der("content-transfer-encoding", "binary")
Response.AddHea der("content-disposition",
"attachment;fil ename=test.doc" )
Response.Conten tEncoding = System.Text.Enc oding.GetEncodi ng(1251)
Response.Write( f)
f.Delete("c:\te st.doc")

How to I route the document to the browser properly?

Thanks in advance,

Stuart

Hi Stu,

Use Response.Binary Write instead Reponse.Write
