How to response with generated file, like Attachment but without creating a file?

Hi!

I'm generating a table and wish that users be able to save it as excel file. But c.Attachment requires a real file and c.Blob does not triggers the browser to save a file.

First thing that I found: https://stackoverflow.com/a/15703536 basically you need to tell browser which type of attachment (Content-Type header) the server is sending and if it knows how to handle (to use which program to open) it - it will will use Excel to open that attachment.

Thanks a lot!
