Sending Multiple Binary Files to a browser with no Usr Intervention

[TrekFan]

Hi there,

I'm trying to send multiple files from the server to a browser without any user intervention to a default path on the client's machine.

This is using vbscript on asp.

To do this, I'm trying to use an xml object and using the ado.stream object, put each file in a different node and send it back as a binary response back to the client

But … i'm getting back this error:

Error Type:
Response object, ASP 0185 (0x80020003)A default property was not found for the object.

To track the error i simplified the code and i'm just sending the filename to see what the error is ... the code is :


<%@ LANGUAGE=VBScript%>
<% Option Explicit

Dim objStream
Dim xml_dom
Dim l_node1

set xml_dom = CreateObject(&quot;MSXML2.DOMDocument&quot
xml_dom.loadXML(&quot;<?xml version='1.0' ?> <root/>&quot
xml_dom.documentElement.setAttribute &quot;xmlns:dt&quot;, &quot;urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes&quot;

set l_node1 = xml_dom.createElement(&quot;Filename&quot
l_node1.text = &quot;MyFile&quot;
xml_dom.documentElement.appendChild l_node1

Response.ContentType = &quot;binary/octet-stream&quot;
Response.BinaryWrite xml_dom

set xml_dom = nothing
set l_node1 = nothing


%>


Thanks for your help !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Found out what the problem was :

Found out the problem ...

It has to be :

Response.ContentType = &quot;application/octet-stream&quot;
Response.Write xml_dom.xml


And it works fine !!


Thanks !
