Delivering Files with lcServer ?

[Scott Rossi]

Hi Peter:

I started setting up a test page to demonstrate, and now I can't get
anything to work, not even my single page test which worked a dozen times
yesterday.  [sigh] Not sure what changed.

At any rate, I've seen PHP examples that involve setting content headers
to facilitate a file transfer, so I figured since lcserver operates
similarly, it should be possible to initiate the download of a zipped file
(or any file).

Any examples out there that someone can point me to?

Thanks & Regards,
