Site generates a GPX file.
when sending mimetype application/gpx+xml - firefox asks what you want to do with it, but opera loads it and tries to display a parsed version of it.

After googling a bit - I found this solution -

Code:

   if(ini_get('zlib.output_compression')) {
      ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 'Off');
      }
   header("Pragma: public");
   header("Expires: 0");
   header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
   header("Cache-Control: private",false);

   header('Content-type: application/gpx+xml');
//   header('Content-type: text/plain');

   header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"" . $record . ".gpx\"");
   header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");

That seems to work properly and forces download, but I'd like to hear from the web experts, I want to make sure this isn't doing something improper that "happens" to work.

-=-
btw - does this forum support ubb tags that syntax highlight php?

I think the only salient lines are the last two and I don't think there's anything wrong with either of those.
