streaming random filetypes from .aspx
how to stream a file from inside a .aspx? e.g. so one could go
href="./foo.aspx?file=bar.mp3" or href="./foo.aspx?foo.dat" etc.
preferabley i would like all file types to open with "save as" when
href clicked
the aspx page is clean:
<%@ Page language="c#" Codebehind="StreamAFile.aspx.cs"
AutoEventWireup="false" Inherits="YourNamespace.StreamAFile" %>
the code behind:
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.SessionState;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
using System.IO;
namespace YourNamespace
{
/// <summary>
/// Generic filestreamer for ASP.NET. Receives the file with the path
relative to the site root folder.
/// </summary>
public class StreamAFile: System.Web.UI.Page
{
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
string pathFilename = (string)Request.QueryString["Filename"];
// replace "\" with "/"
pathFilename.Replace(@"\", "/");
string filename = pathFilename;
int indexLastSlash = pathFilename.LastIndexOf("/");
if(indexLastSlash>=0)
{
filename = pathFilename.Substring(indexLastSlash);
}
// put the download folder in front of it.
// chop off '..' here if you want to. You can also
// protect it in the webserver.
string completePathFilename =
Path.Combine(Application["sDownloadFilesRootFolder"].ToString(),
filename);
// test if file exists.
if(!File.Exists(completePathFilename))
{
// no. redirect
Response.Redirect("/default.aspx");
}
FileStream stream = new FileStream(completePathFilename,
FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
byte[] fileContents = new byte[stream.Length];
stream.Read(fileContents, 0, (int)stream.Length);
stream.Close();
// create header
Response.ClearHeaders();
Response.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/unknown");
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" +
filename);
Response.AddHeader("Content-Transfer-Encoding", "Binary");
Response.BinaryWrite(fileContents);
}
#region Web Form Designer generated code

base.OnInit(e);
