I am using following content type for excel but of no use. Please help. `print "Content-Type:application/vnd.ms-excel\n"; print "Content-Disposition:attachment;filename=data.xls\n\n";` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

I recommend looking at a network dump and inspecting the web server error logs. ~~Also, you may want to binmode the socket when sending binary data.~~ You also want to send a `Content-Length` header and a HTTP response code. Maybe you want to use HTTP::Response or CGI to create the response output? Update: You're already using `binmode`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
