C�dric, You could write something like this, as we have done.
/some-path/getbyidservice/93847572934/foo-filename.jpg We have done this in Perl, and will be attacking this in servlets 1st week February. This allows the browser to cache (if allowed by headers) and to have the extension/filename set as intended. If you want to encode more details in the request, i don't see why you cannot introduce delimiters into the id path element. -jason pyeron -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - - - Jason Pyeron http://www.pyerotechnics.com - - Owner & Lead Pyerotechnics Development, Inc. - - +1 410 808 6646 (c) 500 West University Parkway #1S - - +1 410 467 2266 (f) Baltimore, Maryland 21210-3253 - - - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This message is for the designated recipient only and may contain privileged, proprietary, or otherwise private information.

I got a controler servlet wich map all request with "*.do". I check the URL use the name before the ".do" to know the command. For exemple, if the request is "getRequest.do", my servlet look for what to do with "getRequest". My problem is that i use this servlet to serve native contents (such as images, video, etc ...). On request like "getNativeContent.do?id=42135125", my servlet look for the native content of id=42135125, and send it back to the client. I set the correct "content-type" and use a ServletOutputStream to send binary content. It works fine, but i've got a light problem. It seem's that the content type is not always used by the client to know wich application must be run, but the file name is used (the extension of this filename). Or, the filename that the client see is "getNativeContent.do" and so the extension is "do". In this case, the user is prompted for which application must be associated with the ".do" extension. More that this, if the user want to save it to disk, the defaut name is "getNativeContent.do". Is there a way to indicate a name for the ressource beeing served to the client ? I've spent much time on the HTTP RFC, be i can't manage to find what i'm looking for. Sorry for my awfull English.
