You mean when you use 'Save as' in the browser? I have used an ows cartridge that generated the filename in the PATH_INFO component of the url. E.g., the url in the html-page looked like <a href="/owa/package.proc/spreadem.xls?param1=duh">Click here to view my spread sheet</a>

Why don't you just register the mime-types? There are fairly comprehensive lists available, just include them in $OWS_HOME/admin/svSERVERNAME.cfg.
