Re: Servlet File Download dialog problem (IE6,Adobe 6.0)

[Daniel Easton]

Hi Jason,   I also had problems displaying my pdf's.  I've got the following headers defined:   Content-type: application/pdf Content-Disposition: inline; filename=report.pdf   I also calcuate the length of the file and set   Content-length: x   where x is the length of the string stream of the pdf   There's also something called accept ranges (mine is set to bytes ??) which is IE 6 only (but not sure what it is, try http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url="">)   Good Luck :-)   Daniel ----- Original Message ----- From: Jason Smith To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, November 30, 2003 2:04 AM Subject: Re: Servlet File Download dialog problem (IE6,Adobe 6.0) Thanks for the response.  I am setting the content type to "application/pdf".  It also does not seem to matter if I include the x=dummy.pdf parameter or not.  It still works the same.  The first time it attempts the download, the next time works like a charm.
