[thelist] creating and delivering a formatted documentwith classic asp

[Erik Mattheis]

I recall this is ASP - one can say:

Response.ContentType = "application/x-unknown" (or "application/rtf")
Response.AddHeader "content-disposition","attachment; filename=document.rtf"

The only reason it *seems* wrong to you are the widespread myths that:
1) the URL has to map to a filename and directory path on the local disk
(it doesn't as explained above), and 2) what would be the filename
extension on the URL if it was a filename identifies what is at that URL
(it doesn't, Content-Type does).

In order to actually do this, given an Apache server, one would have to
turn on Option MultiViews and rename the file to something like
document.rtf.html.
