I've only tried this with perl, but I would imagine the same will work
with servlets:
call the servlet using additional PathInfo equal to the filename you want.
If you are using a link to get to FileServlet, then you can dynamically
set the link url however you wish.
Ex: http://www.domain.com/servlet/FileServlet/file09_10_99.zip
Most browsers will use the "filename" at the end of the url as the default
filename for a download.
Likewise, using a form GET, you can set the target to the example url
above.
If you are using a form POST, I don't have any ideas.
