That seems to be a Netscape/Mozilla "feature." It seems to always save the
file with the source file's extension. I have the same issue sending a
data that should be a .csv file ending up as a .csv.cgi.

header("Location:..."); must not be sent after any html, so you won't be
able to redirect that way.

|There is no way to tell if the download completes, I don't think, that is
|a client side thing that if you send the content-length header it should
|know if the file downloaded successfully or not, the browser does not send
|a "success" signal back. Also, if you put quotes around the filename in
|the Content-Disposition header, it will save the file with the exact
|filename you specify, the RFC doesn't specifiy that it has to be this way,
|but I have found that putting quotes around it makes it work for pretty
|much any browser I have tried.
|
Perhaps if you know approximately how much time it takes to download the
file, you can use a <meta http-equiv="refresh"...> to redirect to a
"thanks for downloading" page, with a link back to the download.
