on the fly document generation

[Ajay]

hi!

i generate a document on the fly and then print it from my script. to force
the browser to show the 'save file' dialog rather than display the content
in the browser, i have added the header Content-Type
print "Content-Type: application\n"
however when the save file dialog box comes up, it gives the script name
(in this case sfile.cgi) as the filename. how can i change that to a
different filename?

print "Content-Type: application; name="test.xml\n"

sorry its a little off-topic

thanks

cheers

I think it's Content-Disposition: you're after. ISTR it has some
insane format I can't remember.

I'd say!
