Hi,

I am having trouble with sending a file to the browser. I have had this working in the past but now I am trying to implement my test code from several months ago and it is no longer working.

In my controller method I have this (simplified) code:

function get_audio() {
    $this->sendFile('/myDir/AudioFilename.mp3', array('type' => 'audio/mpeg',
                                              'disposition' => 'attachment', 
                                              'filename' => $file_name));
}

The file gets sent to the browser as an attachment but it has

Content-Type: text/html

which of course is not very useful for an audio file!

After doing some digging it appears that the sendFile method sets the headers for the response in _sendFileHeaders(). Later in preparation for sending the response _sendMimeContentType() uses the request format to set the content-type. This is where the type set when calling sendFile gets overwritten.

I am not familiar enough to make a change but either I am doing something wrong or else perhaps a clause could be added in AkResponse->setContentTypeForFormat() like this.

function setContentTypeForFormat($format)
{
    if (empty($this->_headers['Content-Type'])) {             //  <-- added check
        if (!empty($format)) {
            $mime_type = Ak::mime_content_type('file.'.$format);
            if (!empty($mime_type)) {
                $this->addHeader('Content-Type', $mime_type);
            }
        }
    }                                                        //  <-- closing bracket
}

Perhaps someone with more experience in akelos internals could comment.

Thanks for your help.
