Well, you could package the image in a zip file, or instruct your user on
how to save a URL's contents to disk.
Depending on your webserver, there could be a way to configure it so that
all URLs with "/servejpg/" or something like that in them would get
processed
by your servlet. Alternatively, you could have your servlet redirect the
browser to the actual JPG, saved in a temporary file (or to a permanent
location).

Subject: Problems downloading image files
I have a servlet which downloads an image file to client machine. If I
set
res.setContentType("image/jpeg");
, clients will show the image. Instead of this, what I want to do is
open browser's file dialog to allow clients to save the image, so I must
include
res.setContentType(someStrangeContentTypeNotRecognizedByClientBrowser);
Is there any way to avoid this without changing web server
configuration?
Moreover, the name of the file which appears in browser's file dialog is
the name of the servlet, not the name of the image. Is there any way of
changing this?
Thanks in advance
