I created a work around by setting up a servlet that streams the pdf to
the browser. The key to making it work is setting Content-Disposition
in the respones header.
resp.setContentType("application/pdf");
resp.setHeader( "Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=my.pdf" );
...
If someone knows how to configure this in TomCat I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,

Subject: TLS encryption and application/pdf mime types
I am running TomCat 5.0.19 on AIX 5.2 using IBM's J2RE 1.4.1
I have the TLS SSL encryption working and everything works great in
Mozilla. However in IE I am unable to access PDF's. HTML, forms and
images load/submit fine. IE uses the acrobat plugin when I access PDF's
via the insecure port. However when I access a PDF via the TLS
encrypted port, IE tries a file download to open "Adobe Acrobat Control
for ActiveX". If I click the save button, it gives a file not found
dialog.
Additional info:
The file is there, IE is pointed at a static file ending in ".pdf" The
TLS 1.0 encryption option is checked in IE Basic web mimetypes work in
IE Everything works fine in Mozilla. I have the mime-mapping in my
web.xml file.
<mime-mapping>
<extension>pdf</extension>
<mime-type>application/pdf</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
Has anyone had this problem with the other SSL implementations? Any
ideas on what triggers this IE bug would be appreciated.
Thanks,
JohnPT
