[Geoserver-devel] [jira] Created: (GEOS-3173) Add a token to WMS URLs that causes GeoServer to serve an image for 'Save As' rather than display in browser

Add a token to WMS URLs that causes GeoServer to serve an image for 'Save As' rather than display in browser
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-3173
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-3173
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: WMS
         Environment: All
            Reporter: Greg Ederer
            Assignee: Andrea Aime

When a browser issues an HTTP request to GeoServer for a WMS resource, e.g., a PNG map image, the HTTP headers returned by GeoServer do not force the browser to display a 'Save As' dialog, rather than just displaying the PNG in the browser. In order to force this behavior, GeoServer would have to emit certain HTTP headers (I don't recall exactly what, offhand.) It would be great if GeoServer would do this when an additional token is passed in the WMS request URL.
