How can I change the name of a downloaded file?
I'm reading in a text file, modifying it, and sending it out line by line.
I'm also changing the mime type to force a download. It downloads the but
name of the download is always the asp page the processed the text file. I
wanted the download to be the name of the text file. How can I make the
download the name of the text file?

My code for something that is similar (If not exactly
the same!) watch for wrapping.
<%
response.buffer=TRUE
response.ContentType="application/unknown"
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "filename="
& YourFileName
' YourFileName is the filename you want the client to
save the file as, otherwise
' the name of this ASP script (download.asp) will
show up instead.
Set fs = createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")
Set thisfile = fs.opentextfile(YourHTMLfile, 1,
false)
' loop and write
Do While Not thisfile.AtEndOfStream
strLineMLS=thisfile.readline
response.write strLineMLS & vbcrlf
Loop
' close everything
thisfile.close
set thisfile=nothing
set fs=nothing
' Flush everything in the buffer, thereby sending the
file to the client.
response.flush
%>
note, there is a simpler way to send text files as
forced downloads... lemme know if you want, or if you
are buffering for a specific reason.
