Most browsers only consider the URL when determining the name to save as.
I do not know of any specific header to modify this. To solve the problem
in previous systems, I designed the servlet to include the "name.pdf" at
the end of the URL, which I used as the servlet's PathInfo. This certainly
solves the problem.
