Hi @johnsow44 ,

OpenLiteSpeed only support rewrite rules in .htaccess file. If you want to custom header, please follow https://openlitespeed.org/kb/setting-up-cors-on-openlitespeed/ to use the context method.

Hi sir, i was trying to use these rewrite rules below to force download but it doesn't work.

# Force Download Files
<FilesMatch ".(?i:doc|docx|xls|xlsx|zip|mp4|rar|pdf|m4a|txt|mp3)$">
ForceType application/octet-stream
Header set Content-Disposition attachment
</FilesMatch>

Please i don't know how to use the headers, if you can tell me how to achieve this using the right method

<FilesMatch ".(?i:doc|docx|xls|xlsx|zip|mp4|rar|pdf|m4a|txt|mp3)$">

This is not a rewrite rule, so please follow the advice of @Cold-Egg

@Elijah419
Try this config in the Static Context,
URI .*\.(doc|docx|xls|xlsx|zip|mp4|rar|pdf|m4a|txt|mp3)$
Location /var/www/html
Accessible Yes
Header Operations Content-Disposition attachment

Please substitute the Location to your file location.

For the AddType application part, please edit it from web admin > Server Configuration > General > MIME Settings
