The typical approach is to return a page that either uses Javascript or a
Meta redirect to download the file, and include in the page a link that
allows the user to click to do the download if the other approaches fail.
Look at lots of popular download sites to get ideas -- anywhere where you
get a page like, "Your download should begin shortly; please _click here_ to
download if your download does not start."
