My CGI program can download a selected file. The open/save "opening" dialog appears correctly, and the download works fine. The only issue is the filename appearing in the dialog box is the name of the CGI program, not the name of the file to be downloaded. What am I doing wrong? TIA

// CGI snippet

          printf( "Content-Type: %s\n\n", "application/octet-stream");
          printf( "Content-Disposition: attachment; Filename=\"map.pdf\");

Aren't you missing a quote?

printf( "Content-Disposition: attachment; Filename=\"map.pdf\"");
