Is it possible to add an Alternate Data Stream to an HttpResponse ?

Jean-Francois Lanouette asked:

I'm using a web page to stream a report, a csv file, to our user...

Everything works great but i would like to also send him a description of the file, with the parameters used to generate the report, with it as an Alternate Data Stream, so it don't add noise to the original file.

Is there any httpheaders that could help me with that?

Is there a way to stream the Alternate Data Stream just after the main file?

I don't find anything about it, so i guess it's not possible, so I’m just fishing in the web, before using another option.

Ps. Don't send me alternatives, I have some in my bag.
