Hi,

I have a question regarding File Upload. My program Upload.cgi, prompt
the user
to upload a file, it then processes it and turns around and download it
by setting
the mime to a non-existing MIME type, say, "SomeCrazyType" via  header()
method.

$q->header ( -type => "application/x-SomeCrazyType" );

The problem is that if the user supplied a filename "MyFile.txt", in the
course of
returning it back to the user, and since the borwser will most likely
does not how to
deal with that crazy mime type, will prompt the user for "Save" and if
that is chosen,
then the name "Upload.cgi" is suggested.

Can I somehow influence this behavior such that the user will indeed see
something
like "MyFile.txt.returned" or "MyFile.txt.processed" in the dialog box.

By the way, the reason for the crazy MIME type, is to prevent the
browser to render it.
I'm trying to achive a complete upload-process-download. Perhaps there
is an
standard MIME type that I should use.

Thank you
