>Description:
I freely admit that I am a novice at CGI scripting, PERL, and higher
level HTML coding. So it's possible I'm doing something wrong here,
but I cannot find any problem in my code. I have a PERL script to
send documents to users via "Content-type: application/octet-stream",
with a "Content-disposition: filename=whatever" line immediately
following. The name that is suggested to the user when the file
is received, is not "whatever", but the name of the script that
created the HTML code.
>How-To-Repeat:
Please examine: http://www.en.com/users/ljduchez/cgi-bin/sendbin.pl,
a generic PERL script to send files to users. You may call this
PERL script from http://www.en.com/users/ljduchez/sendbin.html; when
the selected file is sent, it will take on the name "sendbin.pl".
