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.

Hi Simon, First off, please don't send HTML mail to the list. You will have to set the Content-Type HTTP header to do that: REQUEST.RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type', content_type) where content_type is the right MIME type of the file you return, e.g. something like 'application/msword' in your case. Hope that helps.
