Easier is to send them an [serverside generated] email on [serverside] 
completion with a temporary link to that zip-file. Serverside garbage 
collection of such files seems necessary btw.

Only serverside javascript could be involved to keep this on topic here.

The technique advocated in this NG is javascript.

Your "or" says it all.

One does only "learn to thrust" libraries, as the act as black boxes.
If you know the library inside out you won't need it, because a dedicated 
script is in your reach and is much safer and usually faster as well.

The trust usually is betrayed by lack of quality an consistence, imho.
