How do i get mu download function to download my image with its original name

[mostwanted]

I want to download an image but i want it to download with its originally saved name, is there a way I can modify my download function to do this? So far its downloading properly as desired its just that its renaming images with dates e.g: (IMG-20200418-WA0002)

IMAGE BEING DOWNLOADED

        {{for details in details:}}
        <div class="photos">
    <img id="item" src="{{=URL('download',args=details.image)}}" height="250px" width="250px"/>
    <span class="details">
    <span>{{=details.name}}</span> <a href="{{=URL('download', args=details.image)}}">Download Image</a><br />
    {{=details.place}}
            </span>
    {{pass}}
    </div>

def download():
    return response.download(request, db)

I believe what you want to do is to set the headers, something like:

response.headers['Content-Disposition']='attachment;filename=graph.%s'%request.args(0)

A quick search of the book didn't turn that up, so I must have gotten it from postings in the forum.   The closest my quick search turned up was Content-Type in <URL:http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/10/services?search=header>, beginning with generic.xml.
