You can set the following HTTP header:
  Content-Disposition: attachment; filename
Where "filename" is the suggested name for saving the file.

Note that HTTP headers must be ASCII. It is possible to encode Unicode in 
HTTP headers, but it's a real pain to get it working in all browsers. At 
least, I haven't been able to find a single way of encoding that works for 
IE, Mozilla and Opera, so now I choose a different way of encoding 
depending on the user agent header.
