I've noticed more and more software vendors using CGI applications to allow users to download software. Unfortuately at this time there isn't a way to tell user-agents to save the code under a name other than the script name. This problematic especially when there is more than one selection on a form. I would like to suggest a new header for HTTP/1.1: Save-As: A CGI application could return this header with a file name (and possibly path, although that has security implications - Save-As: /etc/passwd for instance. Though it would fail on a well maintained system, it is still a risk) which would be used by the user agent instead of the script name for saving. I would have a number of uses for this tag, and I've seen numerous sites that have the same aplication. I think this would be a very useful addition. -MZ -- Livingston Enterprises - Chair, Department of Interstitial Affairs Phone: 800-458-9966 510-426-0770 FAX: 510-426-8951 megazone@livingston.com For support requests: support@livingston.com <http://www.livingston.com/> Snail mail: 6920 Koll Center Parkway #220, Pleasanton, CA 94566Received on Friday, 8 November 1996 00:03:18 UTC
