NavigateToUrl should work. This is really more of a general Web Development question though. The real work would need to be done on the server in some sort of web application. You need to set the header of the response to the correct mimetype so that the browser can decide what to do with the file. You can also send headers to will instruct what to use for a filename. I can't really provide much more guidance without more details on what you are using server side, and that would really bring us out of scope for this list.
