Re: curl extension downloads 1 byte only from zip files

Thanks for the feedback it has helped my understanding of the problem.

Here is a cut down version of the code I am using. Sorry about omitting
the url I don't think the company would be impressed if I posted it in
a public forum.

I have also posted the responce headers below. I think that the
Content-Disposition: attachment; part is the key. I am guessing that
curl is downloading the result of the url (nothing) rather than the
file the headers are pointing to unfortunality I still cant seem to
find any relevent information that explains how curl handles this
situation.

$ch = curl_init('url');

$fp = fopen("downloaded.zip", "w");

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);

$downloaded = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);

fclose($fp);
