Topic: Problems downloading Attachments in IE

My apologies if this is the wrong forum to post this in. I'm having problems downloading attachments in my punBB forum. I am using PunBB v1.3.4 and Attachment v1.0.3.

When I try to download an attachment from a post I've made, I get a message saying "Unable to download misc.php from <forum url>. Unable to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later. Downloading the same file from Mozilla Firefox works just fine.

I've searched the forum but haven't found any information tha tmight help me. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Re: Problems downloading Attachments in IE

Perhaps, this hack will help you. Replace the line

header('Content-Type: '.$attach_info['file_mime_type']);

with this

header('Content-Type: application-download');

in manifest.xml on line 949.

I modified the manifest.xml file in the Attachment folder but the issue still remains  sad

Works fine in Firefox, fails in Internet Explorer:

You need to refresh hooks after such modifications.
