[ic] Sending a (Binary) File to the User

[Andrew Shelansky]

Hello Interchange folks,
 
I'm trying to implement a downloadable-products feature... and I've hit a simple snag...
 
I know how to handle everything on the order / payment front, and even have a setup that lets a user request a download.  I have an action that can tell that they either are or are not entitled to the file.
 
But I can't figure out how to make Interchange return the file (instead of showing a normal page).
 
At first I tinkered with the file tag... tried making my page be just a one-line [file name="[scratch filename]"] call... but that didn't do anything at all...
 
I can have the action load the file and put it in a scratch variable or something... just need help getting the file out to the user...
 
Thanks!
