You'll have to back up in the code some and see how the writer is being used. If nothing has been
written already, then you can copy the InputStream to the Writer.
If your code is being called from the screen widget, then things get tricky - since it has probably
already sent out HTML text to the browser.
It would be handy to have a generic view handler for this kind of scenario.

I'm trying to create a zip file on the fly. I've created it properly
so that it will write to the file system, but I would prefer to write
to the browser so that the user can download it. This seems like it
should be so simple, but I'm missing it. TIA for any help!
