FWIW, this works in Apache, although it's not a well-known trick: http://mysite.org/generate_progress_report.php/Progress_report_of_Q1_2010.pdf?quarter=Q12010 However, It does not solve the problem of forcing the download, which I think is the main point of <a content-disposition>. -- regards, Kornel Lesi?ski
