    Typically, you would emit the Content-Disposition header:

    echo "Content-Type: text/plain"
    
    CUR=$(ls -t /var/www/html/certs/*$AUTHENTICATE_UID* | head -1)
    if [ "$CUR" != "" ]; then
        echo 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="yourFile.txt"'
    fi
    
    echo  # End of headers.
