Hello world,

I've made a little script which simply returns a pdf file through it (script file 
called dl.php in the chart-directory):

<?
 $file_size = filesize($filepath);
 Header("Content-Type: application/pdf");
 Header("Content-Length: ".$file_size);

 readfile($filepath);
?>

This script works fine when there is Acrobat Reader Browser -plug-in installed to 
users' box so that the PDF File appears into the IE's or Netscapes' normal window. But 
if and when user wants to save the pdf file (which should be allowed), some problem 
appear. In the case that user right-clicks the link to this script and selects "Save 
the file as..." (or something, I have Finnish version of IE ;) the browser thinks that 
user is downloading chart.html -file! I suppose that same "phenomenon" appears when 
there is no Acrobat plug-in installed and browser doesn't find corresponding action 
for application/pdf -mime type -> it begins to download file.

Any suggestions how user can download the file via that script as the file will be 
saved as pdf-file?

Thanks and cheers,
- Ville
