Question using "AddType application/octet-stream" in .htaccess
hello

trying to use..

AddType application/octet-stream jpeg

in a .htaccess file which will (apparently) force the browser to prompt the user to save the image rather than display it in the browser window.

bascially i read this here...
http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess9.shtml
but it fails to work, can anyone tell me where i might be going wrong?

thanks in advance!

Pretty much the same syntax as AddType. You can check here -> http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mo....html#forcetype
A ScriptAlias'd cgi-bin is somewhat using ForceType to force everything within it with cgi-script.
If you don't want everything within that directory to be forcetyped, you can add a <FilesMatch> directive as well.

Please search here (all forums) with the exact keyword ForceType. It's been discussed many times.
