Neat! Yes, this is the way. Thanks Niall and Robert too.I don't believe you can (although I would be interested if there was a way). How about doing it the other way round, forward to your page with the instructions on and use the meta refresh tag to redirect to your download action. Something like this:
<html> <head> <title>Download Page</title> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL='myContext/myFileDownload.do'"> </head> <body>
<p>If download does not start with 30 seconds click <a href="'myContext/myFileDownload.do'">HERE</a></p>
<h1>Instructions</h1>
<p>When the download has completed then.....</p>
</body> </html>
