Before sending the file, send the typical HTTP header information:
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=Fubar.txt. And the content type
info: text/plain or whatever format that is suitable.....
You can check www.w3.org for more details on exactly what you need in the
header.
Doing that should bring up an file download dialog box for the end user.
