curl the two and check for differences in the headers

Okay, so here's an interesting thing...I created a direct action that returns a pre-configured (to hard-code some login information and such) version of the response page so that I could test using curl. I noticed that...if I use that same direct action URL in Safari...I magically get the correct results, without the .html.
So...does anyone know why Safari would be treating the direct-action results different than the results from a component action?

This should be straightforward and with the exception of (1) below, I don't see any errors. Here's a couple of things to try: 

1) you shouldn't be calling super.appendToResponse()


Okay, got rid of that, but still no luck.


2) does reportFilename end in ".csv"?


It does, yes.


3) safari's activity window shows no errors, right?


No errors in the activity window.


4) use curl or tcpdump to look at the response and headers


Here's the output from curl:

5) make sure your headers are correct and your content really is UTF8 

Would there be a better encoding to use for simple csv text output?
