Why are you wasting your time coding from scratch using the PL/SQL Web Toolkit instead of the APEX framework?
From Re: how to write a file using mod pl/sql it appears that you are not using APEX, so a number of the approaches APEX offers are not relevant. You appear to be looking for a file download solution using the <tt>wpg_docload.download_file</tt> method, such as:
create or replace procedure download_file (
    p_filename  in     varchar2
  , p_mimetype  in     varchar2
  , p_content   in out nocopy blob)
is
begin
  -- Set up HTTP header.
  -- Use "application/octet" as default MIME type.
  owa_util.mime_header(nvl(p_mimetype, 'application/octet'), false);
  -- Set the size so the browser knows how much to download.
  htp.p('Content-length: ' || dbms_lob.getlength(p_content));
  -- Filename will be used as default by the browser in "Save as..."
  htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' || p_filename || '"');
  -- Close header.
  owa_util.http_header_close();
  -- Stream the file content to the browser.
  wpg_docload.download_file(p_content);
end download_file;
