force download using Media views

Hi

I am trying to force downloading a pdf file using media views.
In my controller I added

function download () {

$this->view = 'Media';
$params = array(
'id' => 'example.pdf',
'name' => 'example',
'download' => true,
'extension' => 'pdf',
'path' => APP . 'files' . DS,
);

$this->set($params);

}

and in my view file (index.ctp) I have the following link

echo $html->link('download pdf',array( "action" => "download"));

Is there anything else I have to add or change because when I click the link
it gives me the error that the requested address was not found on this
server. It seems like it is looking for a view file for download.

Please help me figure out what is going on.

Thanks
