If I understand your problem correctly, you want a redirect to convey
information about the file being redirected to. AFAIK that’s not possible,
you’ve directed the user towards a totally separate URL with it’s own headers
(including mime type).
If you can’t control the headers of the actual file to be downloaded, a
workaround might be to make your app read the files from the final location and
serve the data yourself (as you mention). If you do it through a stream, it
shouldn’t incur a large cost in terms of memory or CPU. And you’ll have full
control over your headers.
