Force ASCII transfer type on textfile download

[barcsdad]

I'm using the following script to force-download a textfile. I'm trying to set it up so it will download using ASCII transfer type in order to preserve formatting. I've tried different types on the "Content-transfer-encoding" line, but none seem to work.

header("Cache-control: private");

header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");

header("Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit");

header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$statfilename."");

readfile($statfile);

Any clues would be appreciated.

Have you tried:

header("Content-type: text/plain");

header("Content-transfer-encoding: base64"); 

or:

header("Content-type: text/plain");

header("Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable"); 

??

Yep. Tried those combinations. Nada. I'm stumped.
