title: What HTTP headers do I need to stream an ASF file?
body: <p>I have a simple PHP script that will either serve up a streaming ASF file or not, depending on whether you're logged in and have access to the file. It basically does this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
  
  header('Content-Type: video/x-ms-asf');
  header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="file.asf"');
  readfile('file.asf');
  
  ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This already works fine in Firefox; when you navigate to this file it starts the video streaming right away. But Internet Explorer is a different story. When I go to this link in IE, it consistently tries to download the file as if it were an attachment rather than streaming it in the browser. What I am missing that IE's getting hung up on?</p>
