# IMHO Larry's right. More documents are being downloaded indirectly via # scripts or server modules every week. There needs to be a method by # which the server or an agent can instruct a UA to save a certain filename # with the correct filetype and ask the user if he/she wants to view it. # RFC 1806 has such a structure and is one I believe belongs in HTTP/1.x. Wait! While I support using 'content-disposition' to suggest a file name, the ultimate choice of the file type & extension should be determined by using the Content-Type, not the suggested name.
