Hi all,
I have some problem while downloading a file from my server. My code works fine. But downloaded file format is not correct.
My code is as follows .. This code will download a .txt file from server to client machine.

$target_file="filepath";
print "Content-Type: application/x-unknown\n"; 
print "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$flid\n\n"; 
$output_file = read_file($target_file);
print $output_file;


sub read_file
{
    local($fname) = @_;
       local($content);

        open(FILE, "<$fname") || print "cannot open ".$!;
        while(<FILE>)
        {
            
            $content .= $_;
        }
        
        close(FILE);
        return $content;
}

[download]

and file content is stored in a .txt file and looks like
vy01hc
jy02vl
hr80je
tx92fs
qs13kj
kk96bg
bw95oz
st81lv
zh64yz
vg27tp

[download]

but downloded file content in a single line and some extra character in between each line.
Please provide a guideline to solve this problem.
Thanks
sur
