Hi All,

Could someone try this code and so I can confirm that IE 5.5 has a bug.

<html>
<head>
<title>PDF Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<CFCONTENT Reset="No" TYPE="application/pdf"
FILE="C:\inetpub\wwwroot\staffrootweb\fdp\SysAdmin\Acrobat.pdf"
DELETEFILE="No">
</body>
</html>

Replace the path to match something on your web server.

I noticed yesterday that a system I had started working on for serving PDF's
was no longer working.
others in the office could no longer get the PDF's to display and the
content type appeared as text/html.

After about two hours I uninstalled 5.5 on a machine and went back to 5.0.
The pages worked on that machine.

I since gone to a number of machines and in each case, the page loads as
expected in 5.0 but produces an error in 5.5.

While trying to trace this problem, I tried other MIME types (text, gif) and
the resource loaded but as they were being handled internally by IE, that
wasn't surprising. But it does mean that not all MIME types are affected.
I'm betting that some other application/xxx MIME types will no longer work
in IE5.5.

This behaviour only happens using CFCONTENT. If I click on a HREF link to a
PDF, the Acrobat Reader will kick in a normal.

Can I have some feedback on this as it needs to be reported to MS/Allaire if
it is indeed a bug.
