[users@httpd] output csv mime headers for downloading

[theshz <th...@gmail.com>]

Hi, I'm trying to allow my users to download a csv file, and am hoping with
the correct header, the
browser will offer to download rather than display the content. I added the
".csv" extension to mime.types
next to ".xls" as "application/vnd.ms-excel xls csv", but the browser
(firefox) still displays the content
rather than offering for download. If I use ".xls", all works fine. What am
I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Have you inspected the actual Content-Type header being returned by
the server?  It probably hasn't changed, which probably means that you
aren't editting the right config file or you aren't restarting httpd
after making the changes.
