Thanks for the replies, and sorry for not showing the code. I had the
following code in a dhandler that was causing trouble with IE:
<%args>
$arg1 => ''
</%args>
<%init>
my ($order) = ($r->filename =~ /.*?\/letters\/(.*?)\.pdf/gi);
my $output = generate_pdf($order, $arg1);
#$r->content_type('application/pdf');
$m->clear_buffer;
$m->print($output);
$m->abort;
</%init>
<%flags>
inherit => undef
</%flags>
I changed the code to:
<%args>
$arg1 => ''
</%args>
<%init>
$m->clear_buffer;
my ($order) = ($r->filename =~ /.*?\/letters\/(.*?)\.pdf/gi);
my $output = generate_pdf($order, $arg1);
$r->content_type('application/pdf');
$r->headers_out->{'Content-Disposition'} =
"attachment; filename=$order.pdf";
$r->headers_out->set('Content-Length' => length($output));
$r->send_http_header;
$m->print($output);
$m->abort(OK);
</%init>
<%flags>
inherit => undef
</%flags>
And it still wouldn't work for IE. The error I get is:
1. File Download Security Warning - it asks if I want to download the file.
2. I click on save or open and I get the "file download" popup but I get
another popup immediately after saying:
"IE cannot download filename.pdf from www.domain.com. IE was not able
to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or
cannot be found. Please try again later."
I click on "OK" and it aborts the download.
Now the above error always happened with a http:// request, but I found
that it works fine if the request is https://. Go figure. So I guess
I'll accept that and always link to it using ssl. Wonder why that is though.
