Neat! Yes, this is the way. Thanks Niall and Robert too.I just recalled one of the reasons why I wanted to do it the way I did. In my original version, where I actually handle the file download, I record in a database what has been downloaded by whom and when, which I can do because I can determine whether the download has completed (and not been cancelled by the user). In the version suggested by Niall and Robert, this is not so simple, is it? I can only tell that a download has been requested. I suppose a solution is to still handle the actual download myself and pass the details of the download as parameters in the <meta http-equiv="refresh"... section.
