In short,

 - what is the value of the Content-Type: header in the HTTP response?
 - if a Content-Disposition header is present in the HTTP response,
   what is its value?

The combination of these two headers tell a user-agent the MIME type of
the response body, and also give suggestions for how the user-agent
should handle it.  From there, it's a matter of how the individual
user-agent is configured.

Using windows as an example, My Computer -> Tools -> folder options ->
file types governs the association between file extensions and MIME
types.

The choice of viewing vs. saving a file should be considered a matter of
user preference.  Some people like to look at .pdfs in their web
browser; others don't.  However, if the viewer's browser is doing the
wrong thing as a result of an improperly-set Content-Type: header, then
this something you can fix.

HTH.
