Hello,
the filename is not known until the handle handleRequest is called. If it is 
not a sensible position (WResource::handle), a change would be nice. Or maybe 
you can suggest me an other mechanism to generate a file during a WAnchor call.

Further the WResource::handle method will not be called under IE and nothing 
happen. All other browser start the download or show the download-dialog.

Thanks in advance,
Sven

Sven,

1. Setting suggestFilename will also set the Content-Disposition hader to 
'attachment', which will cause the browser to ask you to save the file. You 
don't set the mime-type of your WFileResource - it is advised to set it to the 
correct type 2. You call suggestFilename too late. Can you call it in the 
WFileResource constructor? If not, we must modify
WResource.C::handle()

Could you explain what you mean by your third remark? I don't see how a file 
resource can send a file to the client withoug invoking handleRequest()...

Best regards,
Wim.
