Downloading and uploading PLSC files are turning to zip? by djmorf on 11-17-2007 at 08:51 PM
Ok, i have my own small website ( http://morganatkins.110mb.com ), i'v tried uploading my own scripts, but when I attempt to dowload the PLSC files, it regesters them as Zip files. Try it your self

PLSC is a ZIP-file but it's renamed. If you rename it back to ".zip", you should be able to open it with WinZIP or similar.
When I download it, it shows up as PLSC as well. It could be the hosting company identifies the file as ZIP, by reading it's contents.

Have you set-up the PLSC mime-type on the server? Seeing as it's free hosting, I'm unsure if you can actually do it, but I think this is the cause
RE: Downloading and uploading PLSC files are turning to zip? by djmorf on 11-17-2007 at 09:06 PM
So, what could I do?
I'm hosting with 110mb ( http://www.110mb.com )

Upload a custom htaccess file, but I forgot what you actually have to put in it

This might work...
code: <FilesMatch "\.plsc$">
ForceType application/x-plsc
</FilesMatch>

I thought this was something to do with Internet Explorer, no? What about trying to download it from another browser?
If that works, I may have a workaround for you. You might want to ZIP the PLSC-file and upload that one. This way, when someone downloads the ZIP, they can unpack it and then they'll find the PLSC-file which they can open.

or

You have to pay for .htaccess with 110mb

then have them download the plsc through a php page like
code: <?php
if(!isset($_GET['request']))die("didnt request a file ");
$plscdir = "./xxx/";
$file = $plscdir . basename($_GET['request']);
if(file_exists($file)){
header("Content-type: application/x-plsc");
readfile($file);
}else{
echo "file doesnt exist ;o";
}
?>
then save that as downloadplsc.php and when you want to download a plsc have them go to the url like
http://xxx.com/downloadplsc.php?request=moo.plsc

Oh right, upload the .htaccess THEN use the PHP.
I think for now i will have to use what I'v got, unless there are any more ways of downloading the file?
