I know about that. The theory is fine, but in the real world... Are you
tried to open a PDF file without the .pdf extension with MS IE 6.0 SP1? It
does not work. MS IE relays mainly on the extension of the file to open a
pdf file. How we can address this? I already know that Carsten and Mathew
in his book dont recommend the use of extension and I agree. But how we
can tell MS Internet Explorer about that?

PDF isn't IE's normal method of receiving information (ease of use with Acrobat aside). If you specifically want the PDF representation, specify *.pdf. If what you want is the resource, then you aren't asking specifically for PDF. If all you have is PDF and PDF is the only representation, then having your URL specify that you are serving PDF hurts no one and corrupts no URLs.
