: Does anyone know of a way from the server end to force the download of a file, e.g. to prevent it being opened by the browser or a relevant plug-in and instead the user be presented with the Save As.. dialog box?

Only either by usinf a file extension that the browser does not know how to handle, or by asking the person to do a right mouse click or a shift click and then to select the option to save the link as...
