Try something like this:

    public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) {
        context.Response.ContentType = "application/x-zip-compressed";
        context.Response.TransmitFile(context.Server.MapPath("~/temp/file.zip"));
    }

Sending a ZIP file as a ASHX

eemece2 — Tue, 13 Sep 2005 19:17:10 GMT

Hello,

Until now I am using the following code to loading a XML file and sending as a ashx page response. (I do this for security reasons)
But now I want to send a ZIP file (or any other binary file) instead the XML file.
How can I do this?
what time of stream I need to use, and how?

public class XmlBackupHandler : IHttpHandler
    {
        public bool IsReusable { get { return true; } }

        public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext ctx)
        {
           XmlDocument xmlBackup = new XmlDocument();
           xmlBackup.Load(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/temp/file.xml"));
        ctx.Response.ContentType = "text/xml"; // may bee "application/x-zip-compressed" ?
        xmlBackup.Save(ctx.Response.OutputStream);
        }
    }

Thanks you very much,
Edu
