right. i assumed he wanted to do something like get a file from
another server and then send/display it to the client (news picker for
a feed or comic strip ripper).

if the file is on the same server, then a simple download would do ;-)
or if the script's gonna generate data dynamically, then it would have
to send the Content-Disposition, Pragma, etc. headers.

@akshay: the headers to be sent differ for normal browsers and IE.
