Tha-haa-haaaaank Yoo-hoo-hoooou!!!

I spent 90 minutes trying to figure out what was wrong with my server. After I kludged together a PHP script to solve the problem, I finally found this page. The answer to this relatively common problem is remarkably hard to find. Your explanation was clear and concise. I only wish that I had found it first.

@Steve as far as I know, as of iPhone 2.1, Safari on iPhone still doesn’t support downloading vCards. That’s what sent me on this hunt.

any idea how to make this work to download a vCard with mobile Safari on the iPhone?

even with the force-download script the vCard comes up as text on the iPhone.
