Download files to clients

[Megiddo]

Here's some code I whipped up that can download ASCII files to clients:

Code: Lua

1. function giveFile( userid, contents )
2.         ULib.cexec( userid, "clear" )
3.  
4.         ULib.addTimer( 0.5, 1, function()
5.                 local lines = ULib.explode( contents, "\r?\n" )
6.                 for _, line in ipairs( lines ) do
7.                         ULib.console( userid, line )
8.                 end
9.         end )
10.  
11.  
12.         ULib.addTimer( 1.5, 1, function() -- Make sure it all gets through
13.                 ULib.cexec( userid, "condump" )
14.         end )
15.  
16.         ULib.addTimer( 2, 1, function() -- Make sure it all gets through
17.                 ULib.console( userid, " _   _   _" )
18.                 ULib.console( userid, "/|\\ /|\\ /|\\" )
19.                 ULib.console( userid, " |   |   | " )
20.                 ULib.console( userid, " |   |   | " )
21.                 ULib.console( userid, " |   |   | " )
22.                 ULib.console( userid, "The above line will tell you where the file you downloaded is saved." )
23.                 ULib.tsay( userid, "Server has downloaded a file to your client! See console for more information." )
24.         end )
25. end

As you see, while it's pretty good at giving the file correctly, you have no control over the saving on client-side.
