I wrote a small rant about MediaView and file downloads, see if you
can make some use of it:

Re: forced download

2008-05-12 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What headers would your session like to set after your file outputs?
I would honestly be interested in knowing but I can't figure out what
would come after the file headers. In my head, the session is
initiated and taken care of way before I end up in a view outputting a
file.

You need to send a content-disposition header. Example in PHP:



The header() docs have more information: http://us.php.net/header
