[mod_python] Aliasing extensions in mod_python

You might also try setting the content-disposition header of your
request to specify a file name -- this might be all you need, if the
phone uses it correctly.
Also, you could use mod_rewrite to do the "alias" you mentioned (if
you didn't want to change your existing python handler).  Take a look
a the documentation on the apache httpd site...
