I've done this before by registering procedures. This is pretty easy. For example, you can do:
ns_registerproc POST /my/special/post/url/* myprocname Then, you can POST to /my/special/post/url/myfile.exe you don't have to post of course, you can do a GET to /my/special/post/url/myfile.exe?var1=val1&var2=val2 (you have to register as type GET in that case). Doing it as a GET allows the user to bookmark the page. There are probably more sophisticated ways, but this will work for you. And it'll work on more or less any browser.
