Hi, I have a situation where I have a lot of files in a unix directory. They are all 'labelled up' in an SQL database which holds data such as filename, date_uploaded, owner, version and mimetype. The output DTML is similar to this at the moment, where log_entries is some SQL that returns filename, mimetype and idnum, whilst dump_file is a simple external method that puts the right content-type header on the data and reads it out to the browser. <dtml-in log_entries> <tr> <td><a href=dump_file?filename=<dtml-var filename url_quote>&mimetype=<dtml-var mimetype url_quote>><dtml-var idnum></a></td> <td><dtml-var filename></td> <td><dtml-var mimetype></td> <td><dtml-var owner></td> <td><dtml-var uploaded></td> </tr> </dtml-in> The problem is that the URLs are really clunky and the file download name is always 'dump_file'. Does anyone have any other thoughts on how this might work? cheers tone ------ Dr Tony McDonald, FMCC, Networked Learning Environments Project http://nle.ncl.ac.uk/ The Medical School, Newcastle University Tel: +44 191 222 5888 Fingerprint: 3450 876D FA41 B926 D3DD F8C3 F2D0 C3B9 8B38 18A2
