In the JS code in Re^3: Can two separate responses be sent to the client's browser from Perl, such as via fork{}?, this: var blob = new Blob([pdf], {type: "octet/stream"}); creates the blob with the specific download header to go into an <a> tag. You are right, this must be changed to var blob = new Blob([pdf], {type: "application/pdf"});. Then follow the rest on how to create the <a>. Please note: good practice is that when you are done with the download link you must tell the browser to release the blob data it created with window.URL.createObjectURL(blob) like:

var objurl = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
...
// i am done with this link now
window.URL.revokeObjectURL(objurl);

[download]

So, now your dynamic download link should contain the right headers.
