Security prohibits javascript from direct access to the filesystem.
You could make the same HTTP response you get when downloading a file
from any web server, so the browser (rather than javascript) shows the
save pop-up. You should probably set the mime type ("Content-Type") and
"Content-Disposition" fields in the http response header.
Whether you can do this with RequestBuilder or not, I don't know.
