Empty Zip Files when downloading?
-
Hi Chris (and Co), When I click on a Zip link, and choose "Open", I get a blank Zip file? As pointed out by Luc Pattyn: it seems like an empty ZIP if you try to open it inside Internet Explorer; but when you save it in IE, then open it, everything is fine?? Before the CodeProject rework, it worked fine; Is there a reason for this (that you know of - besides it being an MS product :laugh: ) Assuming this is just a hickup, is it something that will be fix in the near future (or is it possibly a problem with WinZip/M$)?
Regards, Dan

Hi Chris, I am using IE 6 SP2, no add-ins. Has anyone else reported this? I had someone else tell me the same thing, but I do not know which browser he is using.

I've not had any other reports. Can you try now? I made a small change that should not make any difference at all, but knowing my luck...

Hi Chris, Just tried http://www.codeproject.com/KB/vista/certificationbyexample.aspx[^] and got the same thing. Would you like a screen-shot of this?

What if you right-click the link and select Save Target As...

Hi David, If I save it to disk, everything is there as normal. It only happens if I try to view the content of the ZIP when I click on the link (the "Open" button).
