    Firewall blocks download

    Hi

    I have a problem with a script that allows a user to download a .exe file.
    It works fine for all browsers that I have tried, but only behind certain
    firewalls. With Norton, everything looks fine except that the downloaded
    file has size zero and has no content. Is there anything I can do (perhaps
    with the HTTP headers) to get the whole file through Norton firewalls - I
    have included the relevant part of my code below. Note that the firewall
    does not block normal downloads of .exe files, but this would be an
    unacceptable solution for us.

    header("Pragma: public");
    header("Expires : 0");
    header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
    header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
    header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"inst all.exe\"");
    header("Content-Description: File Transfert");
    if (@readfile($sws ource)==FALSE) {
    header("Content-type: text/html");
    header("Content-Disposition: ");
    header("Content-Description: ");
    die("Download failed(4)");
    }

    Thanks for any help
