This same message comes up under one of Niko's many aliases.  Is this
another?  Why post twice?

Why is this a problem? They usually won't want to, and if they do want
to (for example if they accidentally canceled the download) I don't see
why not to let them.

The solution should be to give them a unique download link that will
only work once (or only for a certain period of time), not to close the
window.

There is no such thing as a "cgi form" or "cgi window". Your cgi script
runs when the user requests a Web page, generates a page, and then ends. At
that point, python has stopped running. If your want the client's browser
window to close, that's not a python problem. If you want to invalidate the
download link after one successful download, you'll have to add a unique
identifier to the url and keep track of which identifiers are still valid.

Thanks for responding,

Technically cgi is a script.  But a form is what a cgi script file can create.

The form I asked about is html, it was generated by a cgi script file. So I 
should have written; a cgi script file generated html form, or a cgi script 
file generated html window. Lazy writing.
My mistake.

However I asked a question which now is mute. Once the user downloads the data 
the user can copy it, so why limit the download?.  

I appreciate the response,
