I don't think you can do this except maybe with Javascript. Browsers usually switch pages based on a link on the page or a redirect in the HTTP headers (with a 3xx status). Neither of these are feasable with downloads. -- Mike Orr <[email protected]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
