No, because
a) you're right about XMLHTTP requests not being able to handle this and
b) that information is totally wrong, if any, then it should be
Content-Disposition: attachment, not Content-Type: application/binary

If the server delivers that with the http header

Is that true with the XMLHTTP object? I was under the impression that
it's handling of responses is self contained from the browser (i.e.
the
browser has no idea when and what types of responses the XMLHTTP
object
is getting) Maybe the XMLHTTP object passes control back to the
browser
with that header? Is that what you're saying? As I said, I COULD be
wrong, but I'm gonna have to say no (and sorry but I'm too busy to
actually test this).
At any rate, even if the browser is notified and takes control away
from
the XMLHTTP object, that's not what the OP wants. He wants total
behind
the scenes control of the download (almost sounds like he wants to
build
a javascript based download manager). And I'll stick with my original
answer and say it's not possible.
