Good thought though ;) You should be using ``content-disposition`` as an ``attachment``. Though I have no idea how to make <em>Apache</em> in particular do this, I am sure Google does. With what you're doing, all you're doing is telling the browser that the file type has a ``mimetype`` which it sholdn't. ;) Sorry, but this is completely the wrong way to go about this.
