So in a controller it could looks something like this: public function downloadAction() { $this->getResponse()->setHeader('Content-Type: foo/bar'); $filename = $this->sanitizeFilename($this->getRequest()->getParam('filename')); $this->getResponse()->appendBody(file_get_contents($filename)); } Note: the sanitizeFilename()-method is not present. You must implement something like this to not introduce security issues where people can download your /etc/passwd or something similar. But preferably such validation is done in your domain model. If you have a model and such file is part of your model, it could probably look like that: public function downloadAction() { $model = new YourDomainModel($this->getRequest()->getParam('filename')); $this->getResponse()->setHeader('Content-Type', $model->getType()); $this->getResponse()->appendBody($model->getContent()); } cu, Lars
