Another approach is to include a Content-Disposition header in the
response that suggests a filename, something like this:
Content-Disposition: inline; filename="paid-for-download.zip"
Most browsers will then suggest paid-for-download.zip as the filename, no
matter what form the download URL takes. See RFC2183 for the details of
this header.
