Re: [Zope-dev] How to return downloadable content from Python Method

I am compressing files which need to be uncompressed inline before download. The DTML <href=...> calles a python method in the product which returns the uncompressed file data. Say this file is an MSWord document, how do I return this as a file to download? Presently, the browser just tries to display the binary file and makes a mess of it.

It probably is not setting the content-type header. Add something like this to the method that returns the data: RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type', self.content_type) Where content_type is set to the MIME type of the data, which for MSWord is 'application/msword' -- | Casey Duncan | Kaivo, Inc. | cduncan@kaivo.com `------------------>
