In additional to "attachment" content disposition type, the filename
attribute is strongly recommended if you want to make this feature really user
frieldly. Otherwise, browsers will ask to download very strange things. For
instance, you request `http://localhost:5984/db/doc` => browser will ask you to
download file `doc`, while `doc.json` might be more friendly.
For views there is the same story, but I think there need to include ddoc
name into their file as well:
`http://localhost:5984/db/_design/orders/_view/by_date?limit=10&download=true`
=> browser asks to download file `orders-by_date.json`.
Dealing with `filename` attribute will require a bit fines since it's not
friendly for unicode names. See http://greenbytes.de/tech/tc2231/ for how they
are processed.
