Charles,

To have the browser treat your data stream as a download, you need to set the HTTP header "Content-type: application/download". This needs to be set in the "header", not the <HEAD> section.

Universe has the setRequestHeader() function, but the documentation is not clear on how to set the body of the data.

Normally, an HTTP response is pretty straightforward:

001: Content-type: application/download
002:
003: some,comma,delimited,data
004: some,comma,delimited,data

Omit the line numbers. The HTTP header is separated from the content using a blank line (linefeed). I don't think any other headers are required (but I could be wrong.) "Content-length" is nice to have.

Note that you can experiment with other mime-types to get the download to open in an application.
