Class: util  - X-Ref

General utility class for form-related methods.

form_download_complete()   X-Ref
This function should be called if a form submit results in a file download (i.e. with the
Content-Disposition: attachment header) instead of navigating to a new page, before the
file download is sent. It will set a cookie which is used to inform page javascript in
submit.js.

You may call this function in scripts which might not necessarily be called from forms; it
will only set the cookie if there is a POST request from a form.

This is automatically called from various points in Moodle such as send_file_xx functions
in filelib.php.
