Force dowload of .py file

[totetote]

Hello. I´m absolutely new as web designer for mobile phones and I have some doubts how to start.

First I need is know how to force the download of a file with extension .py, instead of open it with the browser as a textpage.
I have that code in PHP that works in IE at PC, but not in my NokiaE65. I´d like to know why.

Thank you very much

<?php
    $extensiones = array("py"); // extensiones que permitiremos
    $f = $_GET["f"];
    if(strpos($f,"/")!==false){
        die("No puedes navegar por otros directorios");
    }
    $ftmp = explode(".",$f);
    $fExt = strtolower($ftmp[count($ftmp)-1]);
 
    if(!in_array($fExt,$extensiones)){
        die("<b>ERROR!</b> no es posible descargar archivos con la extensión $fExt");
    }
 
    header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
    header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$f\"\n");
    $fp=fopen("$f", "r");
    fpassthru($fp);
?>

Default browser. Both nokia e65 an emulator, both the same result, it opens the script as text in the browser

I had some problems with it too. A work around I used was to have the .py script files zipped.

I had one of the browsers working to download the file instead of opening as text. I guess it would have been opera or Ucweb.

hi totetote
you can download the .py file using opera i tried it. and your php code will not work as the browser of phone is widely different from that of a PC.

I´ll try installing and using opera for mobile.

BTW. Doesnt have the default browser a "save as" or something?

Ok i tried opera and as you said it downloads the file. Buuut, the file downloaded is "like corrupted" and i cant neither with python neither with the default "noteviewer".

What I´m doing wrong?

hi totetote
you are not doing anything wrong same thing is happening with me. i am only able to see and read the .py script cant do anything else.

Then I think I have an unsolvable problem. I´ll have to make my page for PC and then make my users transfer the files to the mobile.
Thanks a lot for helping.

hi totetote

Just to be more specific, which version did you use, Opera browser or Opera mini browser ?

I tried some new things and:


Default Browser = No download.
Opera Mobile for S60, version 8.65. It downloads the file "corrupted"
Opera Mini 4.1. It downloads the file perfect.

Opera Mini 4.1. It downloads the file perfect.

Yes, thats what I use.

Workaround for other browsers would be to have the script zipped.
Unconventional but works with other browsers as well !
