Hi all folks,

What you want to do, can be solved with a servlet.
You can invoke a servlet in a link, by passing parameters in the URL.
(http://mydomain/myservlet?param1=42397&param2=inline, for example)

This servlet has just to build a stream on the response and write in this stream the octets table which represents the file to be
downloaded (with the special header, as Veerendra Jote has told you).

This has been explained in this list a few months ago. Search the archives ...
