Re: problems serving PDF file from view
I've created #4148 a while ago. There are two distinct IE bugs it solves: 1) Vary headers set for files that get opened in embedded applications (MS Help, Acrobat, etc). 2) Any sort of no-caching headers for anything with content- disposition. IE's stance on this is that if you specify that something can't be cached, you shouldn't be allowed to download it. I'm not sure this is a feature, but I'm not sure how obvious it is we want to "fix" it. -Mike On Apr 7, 5:57 pm, "SmileyChris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Apr 6, 7:07 am, "Mike Axiak" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > Well I can't help but post a more complete solution (;-)) located > > athttp://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/157/. > > > To be honest, I find Django tries very hard to be compliant with W3C > > (adding things in favor of WCAG, using XHTML when possible, etc).

There are a whole slew of cases where different sets of headers will just force a blank white page in IE. The middleware prevents that, but it's not needed for a few simple cases.

Re: problems serving PDF file from view
An alternate solution: response = HttpResponse(pdf, "application/pdf") response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=%s.pdf' % filename return response which works for me. I'd be interested to know if it works for others..

Re: problems serving PDF file from view
Well I can't help but post a more complete solution (;-)) located at http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/157/. To be honest, I find Django tries very hard to be compliant with W3C (adding things in favor of WCAG, using XHTML when possible, etc). This usually isn't a problem because most browser-compatibility things can be changed in the template layer. The reason custom middleware had to be written to solve this problem is a bug in IE's (mis)use of HTTP. Not HTML (EMCAScript/CSS...), mind you, but HTTP. Microsoft has created a page that seems to be a bug- report page, not a "this is how we do HTTP" page. AFAIK, this is the only example I've seen of browser incompatibilities causing problems in the HTTP layer, does anybody else know of any others? Honestly, I am surprised no one else has seen this bug. If they have, I am curious what the solutions have been (don't use any of the number of Django middleware that use Vary?).

problems serving PDF file from view
Hi All, I found that Django can not serve PDF files from view, and I feel this is wrong and must be fixed, so I try to raise this topic now. Problem description: We've build e-commerce site which sells PDF files as well. For obvious reasons I can not put all our PDF files as static files on media server. I have also found nice guide and followed it: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/outputting_pdf/ Actual code I've used is this one: http://dpaste.com/7959/ All worked well, we have installed new site yesterday, and got numerious number of complaints from our users. Tracking down the problem we've found that it is IE specific, well known and mentioned on Microsoft support site: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824847/en-us?spid=8722=global I've asked on IRC, people helped me and pointed out that I should write middleware to fix this problem. Btw, big thanks to 'axiak' from #django IRC by helping to resolve problem in fast manner: http://dpaste.com/7960/ Now, I am curious, is this normal that to serve PDF file it is required to write middleware?
