We are definitely aware of the shortcomings of editing in a TEXTAREA :^) A major goal of the upcoming FTP and WebDAV support is to provide much more flexibility in editing.
I know, that will be great to use the remote editing feature of some editors like emacs and homesite 4. But a download tab is nice for 2 reasons: FTP is still in alpha, and some people will not use ZServer.
There's a kind of a hack in it to make the default file name in the browser download dialog to become "document_id.ztml". To do this a method is created with this name. If someone know a better way to do it, like a magic http header, please tell me.
Why do you need to change the extension? Couldn't you just name it foo.ztml in the first place?
Take a look at the code and you will see that if the doc id finishes with something like .?tml, the extension isn't added. The purpose to add it is that if I edit it in emacs I can add a hook to start HTML editing mode. The same in windows, where I can associate an extension to be opened or edited with a program.
Having a well-known method for obtaining DTML source is something that will be needed for FTP and webdav support anyway, so we can probably support at least a simple download tab for 1.10.0.
Nice. See that the method is already in the code, it is named manage_realDownload.
I suspect that changing the apparent id of the object won't be a part of this (at least not initially), since this would throw most clients for a loop...
Excuse me, I didn't understand. The code doesn't change the object id, it just add a method that is named after the document id. This is just an alias of manage_realDownload. I did this to make the object id appear in the download dialog of Netscape. BTW I didn't tested it in IE.
