Danux,

The transfer (up and down) will have to be HTTPS as the file contains
sensitive information.

Apart from Content-type header in the response, also make sure to use
HTTP instead of HTTPS when sending the file to the end user, this way,
there is a change that another security control like IDS/IPS can catch
the file while flowing back to the end user through the network.

Robert,

Thanks for that awesome explanation! +1 Kudos
