PHP Force Download :: Fixing Safari Download Header Issues

October 26, 2007

Problem:
We’d got this client requesting a download script written in PHP. The Script should be able to run in Mozilla Firefox, MS IE, and Safari. Sounds simple enough right? I mean this could simply be done by just sending the following headers:
—
header(“Pragma: public”);
header(“Expires: 0″);
header(“Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0″);
header(“Cache-Control: private”,false);
header(“Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary”);
header(“Content-Type: video/x-ms-wmv”);
header(“Content-Length: “.@filesize($filepath));
header(“Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\”".$filename.“\”;”);

The time on their servers are about 12 to 15 minutes late from the rest of the world. Wow! Maybe that’s the reason why their record books shows that they come early to work.
