I used the 'Content-Disposition' header [1] for a long time, but eventually gave up and simply appended the filename to the url because some versions of IE ignore the the headers altogether. I think it was a workaround to fix the IE content-disposition insecurity problem, but I don't really know why. Appending the filename to the url works with all browsers, AFAIK. I never tried using both, but that may also work.
