ColdFusion: Force Download of File

I've used this in the past. It's dependent on the file actually existing on the filesystem in the <path-to-file> directory.

<cfset yourFileName="whatever.csv">
<cfcontent type="application/x-unknown">
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment;filename=#yourFileName#">
<cfheader name="Content-Description" value="This is a tab-delimited file.">
<cflocation url="<path-to-file>/#yourFileName#">
