Issue with Content-Length header in NGINX server and PHP

Question

I'm dynamically generating a zip file using my PHP application and printing it with all the necessary headers including "Content-Length". It is working fine when I download the file using wget but not getting downloaded in browser.

What could be the problem here? How I can debug this issue?

If I do not add Content-Length header I could download the file using browser.

Then the most likely reason is that you're setting an incorrect value. Checking the browser console might help.

The file size is correct, it's working in my local setup. I'm using http://php.net/manual/en/function.filesize.php to find the file size – Unnikrishnan Oct 04 '18 at 11:09
...and did you check the browser console? – Julian Reschke Oct 05 '18 at 10:15
Yes it was coming properly – Unnikrishnan Oct 05 '18 at 11:44
Show us the source code, or provide a test URL. Or both. – Julian Reschke Oct 05 '18 at 12:40
