Content-Disposition and $http_headers_out

[Jaak <va...@hot.ee>]

Hi!

I have used 
print "Content-type: application/octet-stream\n";
print "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=demo.tmp\n";
print "Content-Description: sample\n\n";
to dump some files from mySQL databases.

Now I wish to import it to embperl mode.
I used $http_headers_out{Content-type} = "application/octet-stream";
$http_headers_out{Content-Disposition} = "attachment; filename=demo.tmp";

But it won't work. What is wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Because the header names contains a minus you need to quote them, otherwise
Perl will treat it a a expression e.g.:

$http_headers_out{'Content-Disposition'} = "attachment; filename=demo.tmp";

Addtionaly you should turn off Embperl HTML escaping by saying

$escmode = 0 ;

somewhere at the start of the page
