$response->sendHeaders();
$response->sendContent();

Manually sending headers and the content is redundant, as return $response; will send both headers and content!

Sending headers twice can lead to problems with the in "Content-Disposition" defined filename. In my case it attached "-, attachment" to the download-filename.

Only use return $response;
$response->prepare(); is deprecated in 2.4
$response->sendHeaders(); is redundant
