Re: Shortcut file

    Is this Perl??
    are you sure you posted inside the right WebSite??
    anyway... it is really a text file that contains this: 
    [DEFAULT]
BASEURL=http://chady.net/index2.cgi

[InternetShortcut]
URL=http://chady.net/index2.cgi

IconIndex=4
IconFile=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\url.dll

    [download]
    try it.

      You'll also want to make sure the user saves it with a .url extension. This will also only work on IE, I think.

      I would do this to supply a default filename:
      my $filename = 'internetshortcut.url';
print "Content-disposition: filename=$filename\n";
print "Content-Type: text/plain\n\n";

# print the content of the URL file.

      The user will be prompted to save the file with the supplied default filename.

      $code or die
