What HTTP headers are returned when you issue a download request? If you have the curl command line tool installed, you can inspect them with this command: $ curl -D - -o test.pdf 'http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Book/download/&collection_id=676b0f2f04f62f3e&writer=rl' (replace the URL with the one from a download link in your wiki) The response header is written to stdout and should at least contain * HTTP/1.0 200 OK * Content-Type: application/pdf * Content-Disposition: inline; filename=collection.pdf and a sensible value for Content-Length. > (Strange: other PDF files on the > internet where opened with Adobe Acrobat inline the browser window...) The "Content-Disposition: inline" part should result in the PDF being opened in the browser if a plugin is available ("Content-Disposition: attachment" would trigger a normal download instead). > But: FF opens the URL of the generated document in the window and > shows a lot of 'cryptically text' - it seems that's the source-code of > the PDF file... This indicates that the Content-Type header is not returned as application/pdf but maybe either not at all or as text/plain or text/ html or something like that. Does downloading Collection extension PDFs/ODFs work on other wikis for you, e.g. on Wikipedia? -- Johannes --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mwlib" group.
