[Zope] RESPONSE.setHeader

[Tino Wildenhain]

Hi Paul,

you have to set the header on the resource you want to
download, not on the page containing the links.
You can make a simple download method like this:

<dtml-call "RESPONSE.setHeader('content-type','application/octet-stream')>
<dtml-call "RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Disposition','Attachment; 
Filename=' + id() +'.txt')">
<dtml-return "_[id()]">

as a method "download", so you can use

yourdocument/download  do download yourdocument.txt

HTH.

PS: note: untested. May be you have to vary some things in the source, 
(like id() )
but it schould be good for a starting point.
