This should work in all recent browser. Content-Disposition is stated as
experimental but is implemented in most (if not all) major browser.

I have tested it with IE6, FireFox 1.0, Netscape7.02, Opera7.5.4,
Mozilla1.7.3
I know there were issues on some browser that would result in displaying the
file if the content-type was a known text type or that would download the
file with an php or html extension.

I don't remenber wich browser and version have wich issue (I think IE5.5 was
one of those and FireFox 0.9 was the other), but I remember I was using
application/octet-stream as content-type for text file to solve this.
