[Seaside] Downloadable content

[Bob Arning]

Here's an approach:

1. Create an external directory you want to share

2. Tell seaside where it is:
| mylib |
mylib := WAExternalFileLibrary new.
mylib preferenceAt: #directory put: '/downloadable'.    "<--- absolute 
path you your directory"
mylib preferenceAt: #listing put: true.
WADispatcher default register: mylib at: 'mystuff'

3. Put a link that point to the file you want the user to download:
     html anchor
         url: '/mystuff/filenumber1';
         type: ( WAMimeType new main: 'text'; sub: 'csv');
         with: 'text for anchor'.

4. Or a link that let's them download any file in the directory:
     html anchor
         url: '/mystuff/';
         with: 'text for anchor'.

Cheers,
Bob
