Hi Ted,

That's exactly the header to use.

Let's say you know the original filename as $filename, and the path to the hashed copy as $hashed_filename, you could serve it with the original filename as follows:


header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$filename);
readfile($hashed_filename);
exit();


Remember that when sending header()'s your code must not have generated any output prior to that point...
