Yes, it's doing what you are telling it to do:
Copy code
<cfcontent type="text/calendar" reset="Yes">
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment; filename=Learning.ics">Learning.icsšš¼ 1

Make sure to always read the docs before you use the functionality in question. Or as a refresher when things aren't working the way you expect.
https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/cfml-reference/coldfusion-tags/tags-g-h/cfheader.html - the very first sentence is pretty clear as to what it's for.
Also here: https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/cfml-reference/coldfusion-tags/tags-c/cfcontent.html - should be ringing alarm bells as it says "Sets the MIME content encoding header *for the current page*" (my emphasis).
You aren't trying to do either of those things.
Seriously: I keep saying "read the docs", it's not for no reason. I also don't mean "open the docs page and scan yer eyes across it, sigh, and move on". I do mean read and understand the docs. This might take some time and some application, but it's critical for beginner CFMLers if one wants to advance to anything beyond "beginner".

Continue to experiment and ask questions along the way.
Making sure that your question reads something like...
ā¢ I want THIS to happen.
ā¢ Here is the code I am using
ā¢ here is what I am understanding it should be doing
ā¢ But... this OTHER is happening
Let's everyone else know what you have tried (so you don't get a reply that is something you have already tried)
Let's everyone else know that you have tried and you're not "just" being lazy.
And for me - when I actually start writing like this - I find that I work it out for myself - as I suddenly realise my mistake....
Eg. I am having an issue and I start writing about my use of the function... "XXXX_ARRAY_YYYY" isn't working the way I want....
TaaDaa,,,,
Because you're an idiot Gavin - and using an array function on a struct!
Adam - is quite vocal about;
"Tell us what you have tried"
"Tell us what you're exepecting"
"Tell us about what you're not understanding"
And it could "seem" that he is a grumpy old man that hasn't enough coffee - or is well overdue for a holiday... or both!
But if you could ever quantify the blog posts / replies in threads / etc... you'll find he is one of the most prolific "helpers" to the CFML community.
Help us, to help you.

I'll have you know I can be a caffeine-starved grumpy old man and be helpful at the same time! š
