Here's how I've done it:
package WebApp::Controller::Form;
use Mojo::Base 'Mojolicious::Controller';
sub download {
my $self = shift;
my $form_name = $self->param('form_name') or return
$self->reply->not_found;
my $type = $self->param('type');
my $download = $self->forms->$form_name->download($type);
return $self->reply->not_found unless $download;
$self->res->headers->content_disposition("attachment;
filename=\"$form_name-$type.csv\"");
$self->reply->table(csv => $download);
}

I believe I've seen this done using frames. One frame downloads the
attachment while the other frame has a redirect, like a meta refresh html
element.
This seems like a better method

it's in PHP, but the concept applies equally well.
