 * Hi,
 * i am coding a plugin and i want to send some infos as text file
    directly to 
   the user. I tryed this but i looks like headers are already send so it doesent
   work. Is there an other option?
 * My Code:
 *     ```
       header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=textfile.txt');
       header('Content-type: text/plain');
       echo $output;
       ```
