in reply to Output CSV-file, can't get filename recognized.

Have you tried it with different browsers? User agents are pretty much free to ignore any Content-Disposition header.

BTW this post talks about \n being possibly harmful.

    Genius. Pure genius.

    The post you linked to reminded me to check my "\n", and as you'll see on double-checking my original post, I forgot a "\n" at the end of the first line. Fixing that made it work.

    Thanks.

      ... and the missing newline explains exactly what happened:
      The browser treated everything up to the first newline as a content-type, didn't recognize it, and therefore opened as "save as" dialog instead of displaying it.

      And it had no filename specification, so it used the script name from the URL.
