Apparently there's a bug with IE whereby Vary will hurt Acrobat's
ability to view pdfs.
Since Vary is ingrained into the souls of many of Django's middleware,
I have provided an additional middleware which deletes Vary in times
when IE might break because of it.
FixIEVaryBugMiddleware is available at
http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/157/
Hope this helps you,
Mike Axiak
