Question

plz see the below handler :

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;

namespace FileExplorer
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Summary description for HandlerForMyFE
    /// </summary>

            }
            set
            {
                _context = value;
            }
        }

        public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
        {
            Context = context;
            string filePath = context.Request.QueryString["Downloadpath"];
            filePath = context.Server.MapPath(filePath);

            if (filePath == null)
            {
                return;
            }

            System.IO.StreamReader streamReader = new System.IO.StreamReader(filePath);

i wrote that handler for direct download file after clicking without opening that file in browser…
it seems the upper codes work!
but there is a problem for showing file size during download.
for test that plz see the below link :
Test with internet download manager
in that link we do n’t have file size, but in the link below we have it :
another link
what is the problem of my handler and how can i fix this issue?

thanks in advance

I have not run this code. Here is another way of transmitting the file.

Try this code:

//context = HttpContext
context.Response.Clear();
context.Response.ContentType = varMimeType;
context.Response.TransmitFile(filePath);
context.Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=" + varFileName);
context.Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", filePathFileInfo.Length);
context.Response.Flush();
context.Response.End();
