Hi,

I'm writing a web gateway.  One problem I have is that, 
when my gateway returns application/x contentype, 
the browser saves the file with the name of my gateway 
cgi.  For example, if the URL of the gateway is
    http://gateway.acme.com/cgi-bin/gateway?url=somefile.zip
then the browser saves the file as
    gateway.zip.

Is there a way to tell the browser to save the file as 
"somefile.zip" by default ?  I experimented with "location"
header, but it did not have an effect.

Thanks in advance.
TK
