actually, i didn't describe fully what the test should be. your uri to the
document *IS* some.file.pdf...so your browser will want to save it as the
same. if, however, you made a script called some.file.php, and in it put:

<?
header('content-disposition: attachment; filename=some.file.pdf');
echo file_get_contents('some.file.pdf');
?>

your browser would STILL want to save it as some.file.php...which is the uri
resource name. see the difference?
