Hi,
I'm writing a web gateway. One problem I have is that,
when my gateway returns application/x contentype,
the browser saves the file with the name of my gateway
cgi. For example, if the URL of the gateway is
http://gateway.acme.com/cgi-bin/gateway?url=somefile.zip
then the browser saves the file as
gateway.zip.
Is there a way to tell the browser to save the file as
"somefile.zip" by default ? I experimented with "location"
header, but it did not have an effect.
Thanks in advance.
TK
