You should be able to use the argument of 'none' to the CGIApp header_type() method. ------------------- my $filename= 'the_pdf_file.pdf"; my $output = get_pdf_contents(); my $header= "Content-Type: application/octetstream\n"; $header .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename\n\n";
$self->header_type('none');
return $header.$output;
Agreed, but that only surpresses the headers. You still have to read in the entire PDF at once, and then pass it around as a reference.
Then, C::A's run() method has been instructed to not output headers, and has no content body to output either -- the run-mode has already done it all!
This is the answer I've been looking for. Thanks, guys!
