in reply to After sending file by octet/stream, open new template page

Can't do that in HTTP. Best you can do is what most download places do (e.g. Sourceforge) and send a refresh with the URL of the content to be downloaded. And of course you'd want to provide a "If this doesn't start in n seconds try this link." link to the same URL in the page.

    Thanks for the confirmation. Our solution was to make visible the appropriate buttons after the user selected the option to download the file. It's a nifty little jaba-the-script solution in a closed system where the much criticized scripting language is required anyway.
