Hi

I am using the following code to avoid streaming of video files. It's working fine with FireFox but for some reason Internet Explorer starts to play it as streaming video.

Code:
 
<Files *.mpg>
ForceType application/octet-stream
</Files>


I've checked the httpd.conf and AllowOverride is set to On.

I tried the following code under apache 1.3 which works well with Fire Fox and Internet Explorer but gives a Invalid command 'Header' with apache 2

Code:

<Files *.mpg>
ForceType application/octet-stream
Header set Content-Disposition attachment
</Files>


any suggestions ?

regards

grove101

Gosh, I am not sure but doesn't this have something to do with the MIME type configuration on the client's end too?

For example, if you go to http://www.Pocketmovies.net and download an MPEG, it states on the screen to right click and select save as. But if I simply left click, it uses the default player for the OS or browser to play the media as it is downloaded.

I suspect that this is at least in part a client side issue you cannot resolve other than to RAR or ZIP the file.

Well this .htaccess code overrides the client's MIME configuration. I tested it on my local server i.e. apache 1.3 but does not work on apache 2. Temporally I have the 'Right Click to save ...' statement on my client's site but would like to get the .htaccess to work
