[Seaside] download content & encoding

[Sebastian Sastre]

yes yes it worked at first try. I used to have semicolons as separators but tabs are a better default from the excel's expectation POV.

The usability result is one double click vs. a double click plus a wizard with 3 steps 

so tabs won hands down :)

again, great tip, thanks!
