Una soluzione lato server è più compatibile, fino a quando l'attributo "download" non viene implementato in tutti i browser.
Un esempio di Python potrebbe essere un gestore di richieste HTTP personalizzato per un archivio file. I collegamenti che puntano al negozio di file sono generati in questo modo:

Ecco il codice:
class HTTPFilestoreHandler(SimpleHTTPRequestHandler):
def __init__(self, fs_path, *args):
self.fs_path = fs_path # Filestore path
SimpleHTTPRequestHandler.__init__(self, *args)
def send_head(self):
# Overwrite SimpleHTTPRequestHandler.send_head to force download name
path = self.path
get_index = (path == '/')
self.log_message("path: %s" % path)
if '/download_as/' in path:
p_parts = path.split('/download_as/')
assert len(p_parts) == 2, 'Bad download link:' + path
path, download_as = p_parts
path = self.translate_path(path )
f = None
if os.path.isdir(path):
if not self.path.endswith('/'):
# Redirect browser - doing basically what Apache does
self.send_response(301)
self.send_header("Location", self.path + "/")
self.end_headers()
return None
else:
return self.list_directory(path)
ctype = self.guess_type(path)
try:
f = open(path, 'rb')
except IOError:
self.send_error(404, "File not found")
return None
self.send_response(200)
self.send_header("Content-type", ctype)
fs = os.fstat(f.fileno())
self.send_header("Expires", '0')
self.send_header("Last-Modified", self.date_time_string(fs.st_mtime))
self.send_header("Cache-Control", 'must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0')
self.send_header("Content-Transfer-Encoding", 'binary')

self.send_header("Content-Disposition", 'attachment; filename="%s"' % download_as)
