changing file name in "Save as" option for html files AJ 10-26-2005

Hi ,
I am trying to dynamically change file name of an html
that is generated through a cgi script, I know that
for it is easy to do this for other type of files such
as pdf or csv which we download and save , we can use
"Content-Disposition: attachment; filename =
"abc.pdf"" to change the file name. but this is not
working in case of html , I tried to use "inline" with
Content-Disposition, but this willl just display the
html script AS-IS . I tried another alternative like
"Content-type: text/html; name=dowload.html\n\n";, but
that also fails giving an error "Link could not be
saved. Web page migh have been removed or had it's
name changed." . Is there any way to achieve this requirement ?
Could you please help me to solve this issue.

Thanks & Regards
Aravind

How about just leaving it on the end of the URL you send them?

http://example.com/generate.cgi/download.html

Works with Apache, anyway, not sure about IIS.
