I've been trying to work out how to use JHP to download files.
Basically I want the user to click on a button/link and be prompted to
save a file to their disk.
As far as I can see the webserver needs the following bits of
information: 
* Path of file on server to be downloaded
* Content-Type: <associated MIME type for file>
* Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=<name of file presented to
user>
* Expires: <date/time for a cached version of the file to expire>

Currently I can point the user to a .jhp file and get them to be
prompted to download a file with the same name as the .jhp file but the
contents of whatever file I write to stdout, but I want to force the
prompt and for it to be a name that I choose.

To do that I think I need the Content-disposition Response header. Is
this just a question of adding a ContentDisp verb to jhp.ijs analagous
to ContentType? Or is there more involved?
