I am not having any luck trying to download some script-generated text from a browser (IE5/Mac in this case). When I try the following in a python method:

It might help to use
RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type','application')
in addition.
Yeah, I set it to 'text/x-my-type' and that seemed to slap it around enough.
Some browsers are known to ignore this header and stubbornly look at the filename. In this case, you might need to drop the ".txt" extension.
