Hi everybody!
Hope someone can help me out with this!
I'm sending a file to a user with the following code:
header( "Content-Type: application/binary");
header( "Content-disposition: attachment; filename=$filename");
header( "Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary" );
passthru( "svnadmin dump ".$svn_repos_loc."/".$name );
(the svnadmin dump command returns a mostly ascii file, but could also
contain some non-ascii parts)
Somehow the file that is saved on the recipients computer gets an
additional blank first line. Off course I can strip this somehow, but
I'm interested in an explanation of this behavior and I would like a
more appropriate solution!
Thanks & regards,
Marijn 8 7809

CR <> CRLF <> LF problem?
The HTTP protocol (rfc2616) uses new lines /blank lines at the end of a
header and it hasa away of interpreting CR/LF etc.

Check for extra whitespace before the <? or after the ?> in your PHP
source files. Remember to check any include()s...

Note especially that it may be your editor inserting a final new line at
the very end of the php source file.
The > character in the final ?> must be the very last character in the
file.
On unix type "od -c file" to examine the bytes in the file. The last
bytes will be at the end (right?) so it doesn't matter if the file scrolls
by - you only need to see the last byte.
On windows, when all else fails, the lowly notepad can be used to find and
remove a trailing line break in a text file.

Actually, a single final newline after the ?> is ok. But if you have a
space *and* a final newline, or *two* final newlines, they will be output.
(At least this is the case on Unix; if you have Windows-style CRs in
there, who knows what dreadful things happen...)

Actually, PHP will swallow one linefeed right after ?> or </script>.

I doubt this is related to your problem, but the RFC1521-approved content
type for binary data is "application/octet-stream". "Application/binary"
is not defined, as far as I know.

Thank you all for the help!
After closer examination, this white line seems to be caused by the
application framework I'm using (Prado).
thanks again!

Yes, arbitrary binary data.
"Application/binary" is not defined, as far as I know.
It isn't defined publicly; that is, it isn't registered
with the IANA. So the subtype should be prefixed with 'x-',
giving 'application/x-binary'.
But as you say, 'octet-stream' is the registered subtype.
