Hi, i had encountered problem with MP3 file links:
in IE/Safari/Chrome, when a link to a MP3 file is clicked, the download starts correctly; but in Firefox that doesn’t happen – clicking the MP3 file link, it starts an unwanted streaming through a preinstalled FF media plugin.
I need to [B]force MP3 file download
Not really in javascript, but if you set the files mimetype to [b]application/octet-stream[/b] you would normally receive the dialog(since that's a universal binary/cannot display in the browser but not saying what file type it is yet mime)[/QUOTE]
[CODE]<?php
$file = $_GET['file'];
header ("Content-type: octet/stream");
header ("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=".$file.";");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($file));
readfile($file);
exit;
?>[/CODE][CODE]<a href="direct_download.php?file=fineline.mp3">Download the mp3</a>[/CODE]<%
Response.ContentType = "Application/octet-stream";
string FilePath = MapPath("song.mp3");
Response.WriteFile(FilePath)
Response.End()
%>It's possible in asp.
[/QUOTE]<%
Response.ContentType = "Application/octet-stream"
string FilePath = MapPath("song.mp3")
Response.WriteFile(FilePath)
Response.End()
%>
I've just had another thought, can't you just modify the iis settings?

the PHP part is just one simple file and can handle multiple files... [/QUOTE]
Another option is to use a small PHP file to handle the download, put in the same folder as the .mp3:
[CODE]<?php
$file = $_GET['file'];
header ("Content-type: octet/stream");
header ("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=".$file.";");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($file));
readfile($file);
exit;
?>[/CODE]
which can be accessed in any anchor like this:
[CODE]<a href="direct_download.php?file=fineline.mp3">Download the mp3</a>[/CODE]

[CODE]<a href="direct_download.php?file=fineline.mp3">Download the mp3</a>[/CODE]Are you saying that the download links I posted do not work in Safari?
The links all work just fine in Safari on my machine.
Or are you having problems when you implement that download php file?
[/QUOTE]
I'm using HTML/VBscript/Javascript (not PHP) in my webpages, but i thought to open a Multimedia Thread because the problem is an unwanted streaming process.
:o
So, how is it possible to change a MIME attribute of an MP3 file?... The need is to leave the file with his original extension because the same file is managed by a web-mediaplayer, but i'd like to let a download by clicking a specified button.[/QUOTE]
when add .mp3 file download but not actual[/QUOTE]

I worry about people using iTunes and such, will messing with the Content-Type mess up other things? [/QUOTE]
