Am not a Java programmer and can only guess what the Java code does.
As for using wpg_docload.download_file - the sample code I posted above is exactly how one goes about creating a HTTP header to stream data using wpg_docload.download_file.
As for the special tag you needs to create. That will be done as I've shown in the example. How the actual tag looks like - that is hard to say from the code snippet you've posted that creates the tag using Java. The question is how does that actual tag looks like in the HTTP header - and not what the "equivalent" command in PL/SQL is for that Java command that creates the tag.
In other words, the requirement specification should be "+create this tag in the header and this is how it looks like+".
Not "+here's the Java statement, now duplicate it in PL/SQL+". This is not a sensible or logical requirement by any stretch of the imagination.
In your sh0es, I will insist on a proper technical specification that details how that HTTP response needs to look like. What is expected in the HTTP header? What is expected in the HTTP body/payload? Don't show me Java code as the requirement and say "duplicate this". That is not how software is designed and engineered.
