that's pretty much the way I've done it, but then not all browsers
adhere to the standards... I'm pretty sure the cfheader is a
standardized mechanism. Anyway... try adding ?/#filename# or
&/#filename# to the end of the download url, that might trick those
browsers which don't comply into seeing the end of the url as the name
of the file.
