Hi!
In short: You can't!
A possible way:
Do a HEAD request first, check the content-type as you do, if it's
"usable" data load it with a GET request, if it's "downloadable" data
open the same url in a new window. The browser will see that it is an
oktet-stream and will open download dialog!
Regards,
Mario
PS: My english is also pure!
