Classic ASP and IIS 6.0

[anon]

The following code works on IIS 5.0 on a Windows 2000 server.

Response.Clear Response.ContentType = "application/rtf" Response.AddHeader
"content-disposition", "inline;filename=letter.rtf" response.write l_strBuffer

But on IIS 6.0 running on Windows 2003 server we get an error.
"Internet Explorer cannot download <file name>.
Interner Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The site is
either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later."

After increasing the AspBufferLimit attribute in the metabase.xml, we were
able to resolve the issue.
Is there any other way to resolve this without modifying the metabase.xml ?

add

Response.Buffer = False
Response.ContentType = "application/rtf"
Response.CharSet = "Windows-1252" ' Set appropriate to codepage
Response.AddHeader "content-disposition", "inline;filename=letter.rtf"

Dim i
Const clChunkSize = 1048576
For i = 1 To Len(l_strBuffer) \ clChunkSize
Response.Write Mid(l_strBuffer, (i -1) * clChunkSize, clChunkSize)
Next

If (Len(lstrBuffer) Mod clChunkSize) <> 0 Then
Response.Write Mid(l_strBuffer, (i -1) * clChunkSize)
Next


The rtf content is dynamically generated?

Thanks you for the reply.
We have an rtf template. The bookmarks in the template are replaced and rtf
is spit out.
