What gustafc says is correct, but it doesn't get you where you want to be. RFC 2231 allows you to use an alternative format for non-ASCII Content-Type and Content-Disposition parameters, but not all browsers support it. The way that's most likely to work, unfortunately, is to ignore what RFC 2183 says and use RFC 2047 encoded-words in the response:

response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; " +
    "filename=\"" + MimeUtility.encodeWord(fileName, "utf-8", "Q") + "\"");

Note that this may not work for all browsers. Some variants of IE require that you URL-encode the value instead:

response.addHeader("Content-Disposition",
    "attachment; filename=" + URLEncoder.encode(filename, "utf-8"));
