Re: Web Toolkit Question

owa_util.mime_header('file/data');

It must be first piece of output from your procedure.

(Your htp.print would work as well, providing it was first piece of output, however you would have to be careful about the capitalisation. It may well have to be as per the HTTP standard e.g. Content-Type:
The Web agent or PL/SQL cartridge looks at first line of output from you procedure to see if the line starts Content-Type, the check is probably case sensitive.)

Anyway the upshot is it easier to use owa_util.mime_header.
