Interesting, although I'm seeing behavior that's inconsistent with the bugreport... With GZipMiddleware turned on, the pdf displays in an external viewer from both IE7 and FF2 (when I don't set the Content- Disposition); and it also displays in-browser in IE7. The only place it doesn't display is in-browser in FF2 (this is happening to everyone, not just my FF2, but I've cleared the file associations and reinstalled Acrobat Reader without any change in behavior just to be sure). Using Firebug I can see that the browser is receiving data, although it seems to be truncated near the start of the binary data in the pdf -- could be a Firebug artifact, I don't know.
