in reply to How do i force the user to download my content?

There's no standard for that. "FORCE" doesn't work on the internet. I could have my browser to automatically display everything that is application/octet-stream, and in fact, Mac IE seems to display JPEGs as images even when they are tagged as application/octet-stream.

So, the proper answer is user education ("Use your browser to save this link") and not gimmicky tricks to try to defeat the user.
