Short answerL you can't. If you download a file from a script, you can
do only that, you can't output HTML, javascript, or any redirection
headers.
That being said, it *may* be possible to send a multipart response
with a file and redirection, but I'm not sure of this at all.
AFAIK, the browser shouldn't display a blank page when you download a
file as long as it's in an exising window. It should stay on the page
where you clicked the "download" link.
