I use the following strategy, which should work for most browsers I
believe:
<map:match pattern="download/*">
<map:act type="set-header">
<map:parameter name="Content-Type"
value="application/x-download"/>
<map:parameter name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment ;
filename={1}"/>
<map:read src="{global:datadir}{1}" />
</map:act>
</map:match>
PS: {global:datadir} refers to a datadir element in
map:pipelines/map:component-configurations/global-variables
