I have a tabls of longblobs which hold PDF data - I have download pages that live here:

[http://localhost/messages/all/52/notes/pdf](http://localhost/messages/all/52/notes/pdf)  
[http://localhost/messages/all/52/recording/mp3](http://localhost/messages/all/52/recording/mp3)

I set my content-type to PDF or MP3, but the filename comes out as just ‘pdf’ or ‘mp3’ - is there a way to force it to come out as ‘notes.pdf’ and ‘recording.mp3’?

Thanks 🙂
