Override render_GET, and then call setHeader('content-type',
application/x-shockwave-flash'). There may also be some sort of
attribute you can set which will cause FilteredScript to do this for
you, I'm not sure. Examine the source code.

Thanks Donovan,

This is an uncommon case. I'm trying to use Ming's output method in a
pythonCGI. Having traced the method of choice within twisted
'protocols.http.Request.setHeader', until I finally thought to peek at
the source code for 'newow.appserver.NevowRequest' (NevowSite is
powering my site) 

class NevowRequest:
    def process(self):
        #I think it may be defaulting here 
        self.setHeader('content-type', "text/html") 
    
Not sure though.
