ie download problems

can't transmit variables to download page

[till7]

hi,
my file-download module is up and running, but when redirecting to the download page, the file to save is only the html page.
this problem only occurs with internet explorer. with mozilla it works fine!

i looks like a problem when redirecting, because when i start the download straight from the other page, it works also with ie.

redirecting:
echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV=\"Refresh\" CONTENT=\"0; URL=down2.php?".$id_file."\">";

any ideas?
thanks for your time!
tom.

Can you do it with a PHP redirect?

header("Location: h*tp://www.site.com/");

hi,
thanks but nope. i found out it's a specific ie 5.5* problem. the user can only download files by rightclicking the link and selcting 'save target as'. all other browser just need to click the link and the download starts.
but users of ie 5.5 will know how to download with their browsers.

greets
tom
