Subject: [mapserver-users] PDF output and file naming (.pdf)
All,
I got the PDF output to work, but the outputted file ends up being output as
<some_name>.map.
I'm using CGI (streaming result?) with map.imagetype=pdf, the result is
indeed a PDF, but with a .map file name.
I tried setting EXTENTION "pdf" and MIMETYPE "application/x-pdf" inside of
FORMATOPTION to no effect as far as the file name tag. Do I maybe need to
output temporarily to a server location (WEB) for subsequent download?
Thanks
bobb
