[re 'application/force-download' for CSVs]
> But I'm interested to know why its bad practice?
because there's already a MIME type registered for CSV, text/csv.
'application/force-download' isn't registered, and this subtype doesn't
mark its proprietariness with 'x-' - going against the MIME spec.
and content-type 'indicates the media type of the entity-body sent to
the recipient' (RFC2616: 14.17); it doesn't disposition the message.
more details in the archived discussions. HTH
