Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi all
I'm trying to list out the contents in a certain folder in a drop down menu. After selecting a file it has the ability to download that file. The menu gets displayed properly but the file doesn't get downloaded. Its displayed as text instead. I do understand this is an issue with the header but im really new to perl so unable to resolve this issue. Your help is much appreciated
#Declare Variables my $cgi = new CGI; my $filepath= "/opt/run/test/dump"; @array = `ls //opt/run/test/dump`; chomp @array; print $cgi->header ; if (!$cgi->param) { print $cgi->startform; print $cgi->h3('Download logs'); print $cgi->popup_menu(-name=>'selected_file', -values=>[@array]); print $cgi->br; print $cgi->submit(-value=>'Download file'); print $cgi->endform; } else { print $cgi->h3('Downloading '); $file = $cgi->param('selected_file'); print "<BLOCKQUOTE>\n"; print $file; print "</BLOCKQUOTE>\n"; print ("Content-Type:application/x-download\n"); print "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$file\n\n"; open FILE, "< $filepath/$file" or die "can't open $filepath/$file +: $!"; binmode FILE; local $/ = \10240; while (<FILE>){ print $_; } close FILE; } print $cgi->end_html; 1;
