I'll answer myself
Here's how to do it with headers (use "Content-Disposition" header)...
def get(self):
filename = os.path.join(self.csv_dir, request.params.get("filename"))
fapp = fileapp.FileApp(filename, **{"content_type":"text/plain",
"Content-Disposition":"attachment; filename="+filename})
return fapp(request.environ, self.start_response)
