[Geomoose-users] data link for download

[Brent Fraser]

Bob,

   I agree.  The code below does in fact add an icon to the layer entry in the 
Catalog, and it does pass the layer path to the downloaddata.php script 
indicated in the service.  But GM(/OpenLayers?) doesn't interpret the 
server-sent Content headers to allow the download.  Not a huge issue, you could 
have the downloaddata.php generate XML with a download link similar to the 
existing print.php.  It just means the user would have to do two mouse clicks 
(one on the layer's download icon, and one on the resulting download link in the 
Information tab.  Still very useful.
