[Seaside] Downloadable content

[Bob N.]

Here's some old code that I've been using.  There may be a more current
option.
---
In the 'download file' callback method...
byteArray := [path asFilename contentsOfEntireBinaryFile]
on: Error
do: [:ex | ex description].
byteArray isString ifTrue: [^self parent prompt: byteArray title: 'Error
reading: ', path asString].

self session
downloadBinary: byteArray
mimeType: (WAFileLibrary mimetypeFor: self fileSuffix)
filename: filename
---
(my session class)>>downloadBinary: aContents mimeType: aMimeType filename:
aFileName

self requestContext respond: [:response |
response
contentType: aMimeType;
binary;
nextPutAll: aContents;
doNotCache;
attachmentWithFileName: aFileName;
headerAt: 'Content-length' put: aContents size printString;
yourself]
