[Seaside] Making a download page

[Avi Shefi]

Amir,
The path to the file should be:
(a) accessible to the image you're running, and of course allowed by its
file permissions.
(b) generally an absolute path, however your nginx configuration might need
a tweak to set this up. Maybe you're missing something that nginx requires?
take a look: http://wiki.nginx.org/XSendfile

Additionally, I don't understand why you're passing a MultiByteFileStream if
all you need is the path to the file.


Avi.
