When you have three lines setting the same header, you're just replacing
one with the other anyways:
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Type: application/download");
The actual header being sent for Content-Type in this case is
"application/download". The first two are not sent unless you remember
to use the second parameter of header().
