I am not aware of such a way; I think HttpResponse does a single thing. But you could create a page which embeds a link to the results file and redirect the user to that (I often find that having an "outcomes" page with some explanation is attached is helpful to the user). Like many similar sites (e.g. there is one that creates an MP3 from a YouTube Video), the link is only active for a while; you can run a cron job, or similar, in the background to remove the file after a while.
