Rolando:
There's a download servlet that does I believe just what you describe in our
Expresso framework, at http://www.javacorporate.com. If you use the download
link on the right side of the page you can see it in action - and get a copy
at the same time if it looks helpful.

You could have a servlet do the download. Your static html page would
have a reference to the servlet along with some parameter indicating the
file the file to download. Your html people would be able to tell the
difference between this and having the webserver do the download itself.
