The filename used for "saving a file to disk" is at the discretion

HTTP provides "suggesting" a name, but not all browsers follow such

IIRC all decent and all recent browsers support this. At least I've
not heard of any of my users complaining :) You can either use
HttpHeaderAction action
<map:act type="header">
<map:parameter name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment;
filename=somefilename.xls"/>
</map:act>
or you can do the same from flowscript.
The most reliable way on getting a suitable filename is thus,
generating a URL that "ends" in
the target filename (e.g. via means of redirect from cocoon or at
time of generating the Link in the first place).
(in your example: foo/getfile?filename=somename.html)
I remember that was a hack required for the IE 5 or so with Acrobat
Reader. It might still be needed...

Any approaches to set HTTP headers would be available using some
actions and passing parameters to the serializers
might not convince the bowser to use the expected filename in the end.

it works fine, file is generating and response. But this file have
filename
== "getfile" and without extension. Can I set another filename(or
just set
extension) without changing "foo/getfile"?
Reason - file is generating according different parameters of
request.
