Re: manage stored files via web

It would be better if you haven't gone to far already to save the files
into an level above the web directory and simply save the link to the
file into a varchar in the DB.
Then just call the link into an <a href="">.

Hello.

Sorry for off-topic, but...

I have the following problem. I'm developing system with ability to
store files inside it. Files are being stored in postgres as large
objects.

The problem is, that actual file names are stored along with LO oids.
When user wants to download some file, it clicks on link:
"...?oid=<oid>&action=get" and browser suggests strange name for file
being downloaded (currently it suggests domain name or link text as file
name).

What I want is that file name suggested by browser would be the one,
stored in DB. I currently enclose it in Content-type: HTTP header, but
that seems to be not working.

Thanks in advance.
