It seems I succeeded in setting the headers correctly:
files are downloaded correctly and their actual names

I volunteer for writing an example of file download

web programming with rivet (a new subsection in the
"examples and usage" section?)
That would be excellent!
The much despised php language has lots of documentation
available on the web and on books, no doubt.
PHP really is distasteful:-) If that were Rivet's only competition,
there's no way I would have stopped working on Rivet! My latest
finding:

Yuck...
I also wonder what is the real purpose of the popular
command line utility HEAD. I thought it would print the
actual headers sent over by the script running on
the web server, but it seems it didn't...
Maybe that is a bug with Rivet, but it's a tough call. You don't
really want to execute the whole file and then just send out a header,
in some ways....
This is the C code that you'd want to look at to learn more about this
particular feature/bug, in mod_rivet.c :-)
if (r->header_only)
{
TclWeb_SetHeaderType(DEFAULT_HEADER_TYPE, globals->req);
TclWeb_PrintHeaders(globals->req);
retval = OK;
goto sendcleanup;
}
