Download Link for Audio

Hello, all.

This is related to a prior EE thread I closed a few days ago:

https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/27861215/How-to-create-a-download-link.html

The objective was to simply have a dedicated "download" link for a list of audio; so, it would pop up at "Save" dialog box so you can choose where to save your audio file.

It was working perfectly for a couple of days, then suddenly... it stopped.

I can't find anything different.

It is pulling from an Access database recordset.

The destination file ("dwdfile.asp") has a little markup to extract the file name from the string; and it was working great a few days ago.

Here is the link you can view: http://islandchurchofwhidbey.org/testdownload.asp

It will take you to a page that says "This webpage is not found", and then it gives the path.. but the file is definitely there.

(I tried to attach the 2 ".asp" files, but it will not allow me. Is there another way I can attach them?)

Please help.

Thanks!
Shane

You links on the page are given the following error when clicked on.

This webpage is not found

So it is going to be hard to see what is going on, when the links are dead.

As for the code, you might want to get "manumd" back in here and have him assist you with his code, if it is broke.

I would go into the last post, and ask him to come into this one, and assist you with it.

Thanks, Carrzkiss.

Well, I know it seems like it is broken, but... the path in the URL is correct... and the file definitely does exist at that location.

This was working perfectly a couple of days ago, and I haven't touched the files, since then.

I posted a message on the other thread asking "manumd" to join over - unless anyone else has any ideas.

Can I attach my 2 ".asp" files somehow? (The "Attach File" link below does not allow classic ".asp" files to be uploaded).

rename them to .asp.txt

Thanks, Carrzkiss.

I have attached the 2 files.
testdownload.asp.txt
dwdfile.asp.txt

Remove all the extra /folders/, and it works.

http://islandchurchofwhidbey.org/dwdfile.asp?dwdfile=eddie_haskel_parable_.mp3

This does not work

http://islandchurchofwhidbey.org/dwdfile.asp?dwdfile=/audio-player/sermons/eddie_haskel_parable_.mp3

Hmmm - all my audio is in that directory path, though.

There must be a way.

Any other ideas out there?

Wayne Barron

attach a sample of your database.
And make sure that it will work with the 2 files that you have provided here.
This way I will be able to test it out for you on my end.
Make sure that the data in the database, is exactly as you have it in the live database.
