[Zope] Open documents as non-embedded

[David Burton]

Using Content-Disposition is the way to go
- using <dtml-call "RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Disposition','attachment;filename=whatever.pdf')"> (if I've remembered the command right) is the call 
you'd need, with an appropriate filename so that the system gives a sensible filename.

You'll probably want to set the Content-Type header, although on some IE versions this will be picked up and if it's something like a PDF it will open the 
document inline just because it can, ignoring the disposition header.

Note also that these methods don't work reliably on Mac clients either - I've not found a 100% reliable method for this (it's a browser issue :( )

HTH,
David Burton
