Hey All,

I am having a problem with a little project I am working on. It invovles uploading files (midi, wav, mp3 etc...) to the web and downloading onto a cell phone via WAP. So far life has been sweet and the project was going fine. Until I actually tried to download the file. WAV and MIDI seems to work fine, but they do not download. When I click the link for the file (ex: http:/www.domain.com/file.midi) it actually plays the file in the browser without downloading to the phone. Is there a way I can 'force' download? Maybe my MIME types are set incorrectly. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

    Hey Bpat,

    Thanks for the link. I had actually looked through the forum first, but was unable to find anything. Guess I didnt look hard enough 😉

    Thanks for your help

      Parse-error,

      Did the other thread help? I am also interested in any solution you find.

      I've noticed that mobile phones completely ignore content-disposition (unless it is running a a 'PC' browser). On my site, the problem you describe seems to only occur on Samsung phones. Nokia and other phones play and give the option to save the file. My conclusion is that the phone needs to be identified, and then a specialized content-type header sent to Samsung phones. Unfortunately, after pouring through dozens of http-accepts from users who have mentioned this problem, I can't seem to find an appropriate content-type. What phone do you use?
