Chrome error with 35G Download
My user wants to allow download of a 35G zip. IE plays nice, but Chrome throws " ERR_RESPONSE_HEADERS_MULTIPLE_CONTENT_LENGTH" error. No previous problems for years with FileUp v5.3.2 Std, though he hadn't tried anything over 2G. My VB.NET code:

Dim fileInf As FileInfo = New FileInfo(filePath)
Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", CStr(fileInf.Length))
Response.ContentType = "application/x-msdownload"
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=""" & fileName & """")

I don't know why I chose that ContentType; the app allows download of many file types. Any suggestions?

Re: Chrome error with 35G Download
Not sure how well Chrome handles downloads over 2 GB in general.

Do smaller downloads work from that browser?

How are you actually performing the download? Your code just shows how you set the headers. I you are using FileUp's TransferFile method, it may set the content-length header for you, in which case you wouldn't need to set the content-length header explicitly.

Bingo, thanks Joy. I am indeed using the FileUp.TransferFile method, and was adding an unnecessary/duplicate Content-Length header. All works well now. John

Premature jubilation--now IE11 won't download large files. I'll start a new thread with a better initial statement.
