Allowing img download

need guidance

[henry0]

I need to find how I could facilitate the downloading of an image.
Displaying, galery etc. is not the problem.

But allowing a download does not seem to be an easy option?
I tried the .htaccess solution (found on WebmasterWorld) but it does not work?
AddType application/gif .gif
AddType application/jpeg .jpeg
AddType application/jpg .jpg

Tried to del cache even doing it from another machine but no result

How may I script something to OK img download.

Are you asking how to force an image download?

[henry0]

Well I do not know if "force" is the correct word.

It will be part of an application where a user will have to select and d-load an icon

That is going to depend on their browser setup. You can try fudging the headers and trying some other forms of browser-trickery but I think your best bet is to just instruct the user to right click and "Save Image" to their personal computer.
