I found a better solution, maybe someone likes urls like this
"..../foo.myextension", too:

>>>
	def __getitem__(self, key):
		print "Document.__getitem__: key=%s" % (
			key)
		if hasattr(self, 'REQUEST'):
			request=self.REQUEST
		else:
			request=None
...
		request["file"]=key
		return self.download

	def download(self, file, REQUEST=None):
<<<

This way /foo.txt will be wrapped to /download?file=foo.txt
