in reply to How to offer binary files for download via CGI ?

I think you should look into LWP::UserAgent. That will handle most of the details. All you need to do is tell it what you want. There is a unified interface for several protocols, including http and ftp.

    LWP::UserAgent is for being an http client. When was the last time a client used CGI or needed to print "Content-Type: application/x-binary\n";?
