changing file name in "Save as" option for html files

Hi ,
I am trying to dynamically change file name of an html
that is generated through a cgi script, I know that
for it is easy to do this for other type of files such
as pdf or csv which we download and save , we can use
"Content-Disposition: attachment; filename =
"abc.pdf"" to change the file name. but this is not
working in case of html , I tried to use "inline" with
Content-Disposition, but this willl just display the
html script AS-IS . I tried another alternative like
"Content-type: text/html; name=dowload.html\n\n";, but
that also fails giving an error "Link could not be
saved. Web page migh have been removed or had it's
name changed."
Could you please help me to solve this issue.

Thanks & Regards
Aravind
