No. There has been some limited discussion about a `suggested save-as
filename' header in the http-wg, but nobody ever cared enough about
having it to put forward a complete specification.
>And will Content-Base, as defined in HTTP/1.1, be useful?
I don't know. There _may_ be browsers which use the Content-Base,
Location, or Content-Location headers when generating the `save as'
default filename.
