force_download + CI 1.6.0

I wish it had been made an optional argument because I need to do some processing after the force_download but can't. For instance, after the force_download, I want to delete the file. Since processing stops at this point, I can't use force_download.

I'm making it an argument in my copy of CI. Unfortunately my copy of CI will now be out of sync with the official CI; not something I enjoy having, I must say.

function force_download($filename = '', $data = '', $exit_now = TRUE)
:
:
if ($exit_now)
{
exit($data);
}
else
{
echo ($data);
}
}


It's just very important that the developer doesn't produce any additional output after force_download otherwise it will corrupt the file data being downloaded.
