I am not sure if this is possible using standard web technologies.
I want the user to be able to download multiple files in a single action. That is click check boxes next to the files, and then get all the files that were checked.
Is it possible - if so what basic strategy do you recommend. I know I can use comets technology to create server side events that trigger an HttpResponse but I am hoping there is a simpler way.
