i wrote a little program to download files from the server. it works fine

to show pics and stuff like this, but i have some problems with other file

types.



can anybody tell my the mime-type of an .exe file?



and how can i tell the client browser the name of the file i'm sending. a

little example... my program sends a .gif file to the client. the client

wants to save it. the default file name would be download.gif (or whatever

the program's name is .gif). how can i tell it the real name of the file?



thanx for you answer
