Download XML file with Asp.Net MVC

I've created an ActionResult in an MVC controller which returns a FileStreamResult of an XMLfile, but it's not downloading the file. After the action returns the FileStream nothing happens; I'd like to make the user download the file from the web application.

Any help? Thanks

public ActionResult EsportaProtocollo(int idProtocollo)
{
    AvvisoModel avviso = new AvvisoModel();

    string xml = _protocolliService.ProtocolloToXml(idProtocollo);

    var newStream = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
    var writer = new System.IO.StreamWriter(newStream);
    writer.Write(xml);
    writer.Flush();
    newStream.Position = 0;

    return File(newStream, "application/xml", "prova.xml");

}

Here's what I see on Fiddler

Solved! the problem was the javascript, i was calling the action with an ajax call, i've changed it to a window.open(url); and now it works!
