We are using a PHP scripting for tunneling file downloads, since we don't want to expose the absolute path of downloadable file: header("Content-Type: $ctype"); header("Content-Length: " . filesize($file)); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$fileName\""); readfile($file); Unfourtunately we noticed that downloads pass...
hey All, I would like to provide downloadable files to website users, but want to hide the URL of the files from the user...

I'm currently writing a website that allows people to download Excel and text files. Is there a way to redirect to a different page when they click, so that we run javascript and do analytics (i.e. keep download count)?

My company runs a webmail service, and we were trying to diagnose a problem with Word downloads not opening automatically - the same *.doc file download from Yahoo Mail would open, but one from ours would not.

This is obviously a really common thing to do, which is making me feel kind of foolish for not thinking of a method for doing it. Once the purchase has been made the customer should be taken to a page containing the download link, as wel...
I'm trying to get this piece of code working a little better. I suspect it's the loop reading one byte at a time. I couldn't find another way of doing this with gzip decompression.

Back in the earlier days of the internet I remember that in certain browsers, every time you downloaded an image or a file, the URL of where that file was downloaded from would be written into that file's properties (I guess the summary tab?).

We've got an application we'd like our users to download. Currently they click a link and download the EXE. What we'd like to do is have a launchpad/downloader application that would be small and fast to download, which would then download and install the main application.

We've got a page in our asp.net web system that uses response.redirect to redirect the user directly to an excel file so it will download "automatically" without the user having to to a right click / save as.
