Force download of .rfa file in Internet Explorer.

[Anonymous]

I have a client that uploads .rfa files to their website so that people can download them.

In all browsers except Internet Explorer (IE) these files get downloaded when the link is clicked.

In IE, instead of getting the "Open With/Download" option this browser opens the files in the browser.

Can anyone give me information on how I can force IE to download these files or give the option to open in the application rather than displaying them?

Appreciate any help.

Which "language" you use on the server side? It's a simple html link or you have a download script?

Thanks for the reply

I kept digging after my post and found a solution. The site is on an apache server and I found a way to to this by adding some code to the .htaccess file.

Here is what I added for my environment in case it helps others

AddType application/octet-stream .rfa
