Providing an automatic filename it's better than sending an empty one,

samples or code using these features is to add extra headers to send the
desired filename, but that means that the server code has to be updated
to handle this behavior.
What is the extension for unknown arbitrary contents? Is it .bin? We could
also name it "blob.blob" if that improves matters. It really does not
matter much.
