creative, but not an option in case of, say, archives and other files
not displayed inline. :/

unfortunately I don't think there's a solution to this problem. the
filename will be 44-23.jpg or .zip or .doc etc.

another, but IMO not useful option (I'm just brainstorming):
what if lifetype is redirecting to another, more light weight script
that accepts the nice filename/ugly filename mapping and delivers the
file to the browser?
There would still be a 30x redirect and LT is done, but the client gets
a nice filename... efficiency? don't know...
