I think this plus the binary-CSV stuff in #1034 will justify a dedicated section of the documentation to talk about how Datasette handles binary BLOB columns.

I can also use a Content-Disposition header to force a download. I'm reasonably confident that the combination of Content-Disposition and X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff and application/binary will let me allow users to download the contents of arbitrary BLOB columns without any XSS risk.

https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/12896/does-x-content-type-options-really-prevent-content-sniffing-attacks says:

In Tangled Web Michal Zalewski says:

Refrain from using Content-Type: application/octet-stream and use application/binary instead, especially for unknown document types. Refrain from returning Content-Type: text/plain.

For example, any code-hosting platform must exercise caution when returning executables or source archives as application/octet-stream, because there is a risk they may be misinterpreted as HTML and displayed inline.

From https://hackerone.com/reports/126197:

archive.uber.com mirrors pypi. When downloading .tar.gz files from archive.uber.com, the MIME type is application/octet-stream. Injecting <html><script>alert(0)</script> into the start of the .tar.gz causes an XSS in Internet Explorer due to MIME sniffing.

So you do have to be careful not to open accidental XSS holes with application/octet-stream thanks to (presumably older) versions of IE.

From that thread it looks like the solution is to add a X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff header.
