   I'm not sure how to do it in mod_ruby. I suppose you have to look at the
Apache.request object. See http://rubydoc.org/books/modruby/c434.htm . In case
it does help in anything, in Perl (mod_perl) is something like:

   $r->header_out("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=$myfilename");
   $r->content_type($mime)

I suppose in mod_ruby is

   Apache.request.header_out("Content-Disposition", "blah")
