added my own answer to close the question: as said @alexeyten there is no difference. I ended by a javascript code the alter the index.html file generated by apache.
Server side: detecting if a user is downloading (save as...) or visualizing a file in the browser

Question
I'm writing an apache2 module
by default and when viewed in a web browser, the module would only print the first lines of a large file and convert them to HTML.
if the user choose to 'download as...', the whole raw file would be downloaded.
Is it possible to detect this choice on the server side ? (for example is there a specific http header set ?).
note: I would like to avoid any parameter in the GET url (e.g: "http://example.org/file?mode=raw" )
