CFHeader Problem

What's wrong with the below?   <cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment; filename=myfile.zip">   <cfcontent type="application/zip" file="d:\inetpub\wwwroot\thedirectory\myfile.zip "> The file is there and the path is correct. I can download the file directly by typing in http://mysite.com/thedirectory/myfile.zip in the browser, but whenever I try to use CFHEADER to serve the files it just spins (even though it's in a CFTRY it does not thrown an error). When I abort (exit the spinning page) I get a diagnostic dump:   Java heap space null   The error occurred on line -1. What the heck? I I doing something wrong?

>>What's wrong with the below? Don't you need  RESET="yes" inside the CFCONTENT tag?

According to the documentation the default is "yes".

Which CF Version? What is the file size of myfile.zip? And how much memory is allocated to CF? On 6/26/12 11:08 AM, "Robert Harrison" <robert@austin-williams.com> wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Sorry. I didn't realize it was solved. It would help to not change the subject of the thread ;-) On 6/26/12 10:26 PM, "Bobby" <bobby@acoderslife.com> wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more ----- I realize your question has already been answered - and for the record, I like Ben Nadel's solution to this very much - but I have a related question for you. If you're serving files in your web root, why are you bothering to use CFCONTENT to serve them? Just serve a link to the file in question, and let the web server do the work. If there's some business reason why you don't want to do that, you probably shouldn't store the files in a web-accessible directory.
