[Seaside] File for download

Louis,

Once you have the bytes in hand the following should do the trick,

self requestContext respond: 
	[:response |
	response document: ((#[1 2 3] seasideMimeDocument)
					mimeType: 'application/pdf';
					fileName: 'report.pdf';
					yourself)].

Subject: [Seaside] File for download

Hi,

I'm playing with wkhtmltopdf that can convert html/css into a PDF file.
If anyone is interested it can be found here:
http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/.  It should run on Windows and
Linux (I've tested it on Windows).  It is run as a command line program.
You give it a URL or html input filename and an output pdf filename
(where it writes the pdf file).  So far I like it but it would be nice
if it broke pages at table row and not in the middle of a row.

Now to my question.  What is the best way to deliver the file for
download?
I can put the file where Apache can download it.  Or I can read it into
a string and serve it up from Seaside.

If I go the Apache route, how would I automatically trigger the download
after creating the file?

If I serve it from Seaside, how do I do that?

Many thanks in advance, Lou
