The Subject line is not the question; it's only a possible=20
start-of-answer...
I'm building an application, using Zope and a database, where users can=20
upload files. These files are stored as BLOBs in the DB, not in the ZODB.
The problem is to get back the filename when a user downloads a file.
I. e., I'll have things like:
<a href=3D"http://my.host/retrieve?id=3D42">results.xls</a>
where ``retrieve=B4=B4 is the script.
I would like instead to be able to present an address like:
<a href=3D"http://my.host/retrieve/42/results.xls">results.xls</a>
This is the only way I know of to pass the filename to the client=20
(though I'd be happy to be corrected).
So:
Is this possible directly?
Otherwise, should I start hacking, e.g., Gary Poster's FakeFolder, or=20
are there better ways?
Thanks,
Yves
