I've noticed on my version of MSIE that it does not handle PDFs in any form
without an Accept-Ranges header. I tried looking for bug reports, but I
couldn't find any, so I figured it was just me...

try
$r->headers_out->set("Content-Disposition" =>
"inline; filename=$filename");
really, for the If-Modified-Since header and byteserving in general you
ought to use the supplied mod_perl methods $r->meets_conditions and
$r->set_byterange/each_byterange...
try something like this instead for static files...
# set the the headers
$r->headers_out->set('Accept-Ranges' => 'bytes');
$r->headers_out->set("Content-Disposition" =>
"inline; filename=$filename");
$r->set_content_length(-s $r->finfo);
# set the MIME type based on the document extension
$r->content_type(MIME::Types::by_suffix($filename)->[0]);
# determine if the request is a range request
my $range_request = $r->set_byterange;
# yea or nea
if ((my $status = $r->meets_conditions) == OK) {
$r->send_http_header;
}
else {
return $status;
}
# handle a range request properly
if ($range_request) {
while( my($offset, $length) = $r->each_byterange) {
seek $fh, $offset, 0;
$r->send_fd($fh, $length);
}
}
else {
$r->send_fd($fh);
}
