Pushing file name to browser

[pxlpluker]

after being pointed in the right direction by the other posts this is 
the answer that i have.

print 'Content-type: application/force-download; '
print 'Content-disposition: attachment; filename="fname.ext"'

will work on mozilla and the xp version of IE. i havent checked lower 
versions yet.

to test simply do this:
#!/usr/bin/env python
print 'Content-type: application/force-download; '
print 'Content-disposition: attachment; filename="fname.ext"'
print '\nThis is a test.'
