Fwd: Downloading Files

Hi,

I have created (successfully) in implementation of a WOFileUpload and  
a corresponding file download component based on info on the various  
list serves. These work as advertised (with a few gotchas, of  
course). My problem is when downloading the file stored in the  
database. Specifically, the name of the file.

When I upload the file on a Mac (Safari) the file name is  
successfully grabbed and stored in the DB along with the Data. Using  
Windows and IE6, I have to manually parse the filename to eliminate  
the "c:\DOS\Crap\Path\" from the filename. Again, no problem (though  
annoying).

On download (Mac and Safari) things work as expected. Win IE 6,  
however, does not populate the filename from the download link.  
Instead, the file is named based on the number.number.number.etc   
internal url created by WO. The file successfully downloads and will  
open when the name (including the extension) is manually added.

In a nutshell, is there some header (that I have missed) that can  
pass the filename upon download to IE 6? Below is the generic code  
for the download component called from the hyperlink (taken almost  
exactly as it appears on this list earlier)...

Regards,

Mike
