Hi,
I tried with various types including application/octet-stream, but it did not
help.
It seems that IE takes file name from the link (whatever follows after the last
'/' in the link). That is, if my link is 'download.php?path=/abc&file=xyz.txt',
IE prompts for file 'abc&file=xyz.txt' but if I introduce a '/' before file
name, 'download.php?path=/abc&file=/xyz.txt', IE prompts for file 'xyz.txt'.
However, in save dialogue it shows 'download' as file name. If I select 'Open',
it prompts again with 'download' as file name.
May be it is a problem with valid characters in a file name.

Hi,
I believe your problem is related to the fact that you use
"unknown" in your content-type header. This forces IE to search for an
application to open the file of "unknown" type. Have you tried any other
content-types?
For more info on content-types, see the HTTP1.1 RFC:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.17
