Forcing download dialog box problem

[cornholio27]

Hi guys.

Having some problems in creating a force download asp. I have got the code from a common example on the net, but I just can't get it working right. The download box does pop up with the correct filename (but always shows a .rar icon). But when I download it the file is always 4kb in size and cannot be opened.

Here is my code:

<%
Response.ContentType = "application/unknown"

Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=" & Request("FileName")

Set objStream = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")

objStream.Open

objStream.Type = 1

objStream.LoadFromFile Server.MapPath("vaggio/") & Request("FileName")

download = objStream.Read

Response.BinaryWrite download


Set objstream = Nothing
%>


and it is called by:

<a href="download.asp?FileName=bottom.jpg">bottom</a>



any help on this would be much appreciated
