What I meant to say was that the mime-type is an important way for compliant browser to know what to do with a file. I suspect that something strange is going on. Either the mime-type is correct but the client (Firefox) is configured wrong, or the mime-type is incorrect confuses the client. However, when I put a pdf in my shared folder on a 7.0.1 Mid-Tier, running on Tomcat 5.20 it just works. Brian, what's your config?

Hugo.... i appreciate your workaround but I believe this will not work becuase as confirmed by Brain, the pdf from any other browser opens directly without giving any error except for those from the local AR Server Mid-Tier virtual path. Brain.... can you please try opening any other extension file, like DOC, XLS, etc. Maybe this might lead us somewhere.

One option would be to install the firebug extension to see what is being sent to the browser. If the mime-type is incorrect (for example text/plain), Firefox will just open it as text, like most other browsers. "IE works" because it sees ".pdf" and knows how top open pdf on your PC, no matter what mime-type your web browser is sending. It could be that the mime-type config must be done at some other place, like your web server. Hugo On 11/2/07, Sokol, Brian < [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: Not true. If I open the file directly from Firefox (File, Open File) it works fine. If I open a pdf in firefox from another web site it works ok. ________________________________ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected] ] On Behalf Of Rahul AR User Sent: Friday, November 02, 2007 11:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Opening a PDF from the MidTier ** Hi Brain, Can u confrim whether you are opening the URL from the server machine or have you tried opening the same from other systems in the network also? It seems that hsi is a localised problem with FireFox application and not related to ARS. I could draw thie conclusion from your comment that when you directly open the PDF from FireFox, it gives an error.
