Alli,
Mark is correct - I'd create a LiftResponse sublass and handle that
request with a DispatchPF. If your not familiar, check out
prependDispatch in Boot.scala of the demo site.
If you can supply a bit more information about what exacty you want to
do (I'm guessing you want to force downlod a PDF or something?) then
we can give you a more specific answer.
Cheers
Tim
