Thanks for the help. The solution I found was: data = 'This is the data that is generated.' context.REQUEST.RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/download') context.REQUEST.RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Length', len(data)) context.REQUEST.RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Disposition', 'attachment;filename=Data.dat') return data Thanks again, Bruce.

I want to download generated data to a file on the users computer when they press a button.

The button will call a python script which will generate the data. I'm not sure how to get the browser to bring up a download dialog and not just display the data.

I am trying this.

data = 'This is the data that is generated.'

context.REQUEST.RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/data') context.REQUEST.RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Length', len(printed)) context.REQUEST.RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Disposition', 'inline;filename=Data.dat') return data

This display the data in the browser, but doesn't download it.

Can someone help???

Thanks,

Bruce.
