An idea I had for this would be an extension to the adapters -- allow
a return message that was simply "send file X". Of course, the
adapter has to be on the same computer as the AppServer, but that's
usually the case -- there could be some non-adapter code for when that
isn't the case, of course.
I think this can be better than simply telling the web server to serve
certain kinds of files, because it allows you to do complicated
URL->filename mappings, and to implement your own security for file
access. These situations have already come up on the list, and I
could use this sort of functionality myself.
