I've run into this problem before...
I think the best way to solve it is to use a meta refresh and let the client
do the work.
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=#url.file#">

Subject: Getting MIME Type for a file
I know the security considerations for this... I will be trapping that
security on this within the client's session as well, but nevertheless, does
anyone know how would I be able to get the mime type for this file?
<cfparam name="url.file" default="">
<cfif fileExists(url.file)>
<cfheader name="Content-disposition" value="attachment;
fileName=#url.file#">
<cfcontent type="?????" file="#url.file#" deletefile="No">
</cfif>
