have Restler method return a Content-Disposition header

Question

In one of my get methods is it possible to specify a specific Content-Type and Content-Disposition? After getting my data back I'm doing this:

return Scope::get('CsvFormat')->encode($data);

and so the data returned is in a CSV format. Now I want to set the content type to text/csv and set a Content-Disposition so that it actually allows the file download, instead of just showing the content.

Here is a working example!

In Excel.php

<?php

class Excel
{
    /**
     * Download CSV data which can be rendered with Excel
     *
     * @return array
     * @format CsvFormat
     * @header Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="excel.csv"
     */
    public function download()
    {
        //csv compatible array
        $data = [['name' => 'John Doe', 'age' => '23'], ['name' => 'Mika', 'age' => '45']];

        return $data;
    }
}

Your index.php

<?php

require '../vendor/autoload.php';

use Luracast\Restler\Restler;

$r = new Restler();
$r->addAPIClass('Excel');

$r->setOverridingFormats('CsvFormat');
$r->handle();

Try http://localhost/excel/download
