Ok, solved it. Just for the record: it needed the Content-length header
too. Tried it with Content-disposition but it doesn't work without
Content-length. Actually, only Content-type and Content-length are all it
needs (along with the correct extension in the URL).

Anyway, your suggestion made me think about fiddling with the headers...

Thanks for the time - you've been very supportive!
