WEBACTIONS AND DOWNLOAD FILES

A webactions question...

I want to let my users download a file whose contents are dynamic. It's easy
enough to build the file and I can include a reference to it in my generated
HTML (so I can point to the unique filename that I'm using for this
particular user/session). But I don't have a map for it, if for no other
reason than the filename is dynamic, too. Putting the file into a
pre-defined filename isn't good... Different users' requests will result in
different records in the output file (it's basically a query response). I
can show the generated content in a table, no problem, but I want to offer
the option for the user to download the content so it can be imported into
some other tools.

So I guess if I could modify the map on the fly I could make it work but I
don't see a handle for the map in the documentation.

Random experimentation tends to take too long.

Hints, thoughts, or alternatives are welcome...
