I could determine the filename in advance, but I think there should be some more
generic approach -- there are certainly situations where it won't be possible to
determine the filename in advance, and then I'll have to do something kludgey like
perform a URL rewrite, appending the extra path info. Does the setHeader call not
work because it isn't supported by the browser? I'm working with 4.5 of
Communicator.
