Turns out that the problem was not fixed past the 2.0.46 version, which also
happens to be the latest version that is on RedHat Linux Enterprise 3, the OS
we have installed on the server. I think in a later, yet-unleased version
2.0.55 a fix to this problem is applied according to the truck CHANGES file,
but that doesn't help the current situation.
What about the mime-type, is it affected ?
IIRC one workaround was to set mime type for PDF to application/x-pdf
instead of application/pdf, because this is not a built-in mime-type in
MS-Internet Exploder, so IE doesn't try to do anything "smart" with it.
I remember this being a workaround to *one* IE+PDF problem, but not
whether it was regarding exactly *this* problem.
We currently have Apache 2.0.50 and no longer have that PDF problem. The
only configuration thing I can find relating to PDFs which is not
standard, is that I commented out the pdf line in /etc/apache2/magic -
but I can't remember why, sorry :/
I wish there were an easy answer to this one - we may have to serve all PDF
files from the Apache document root without mod_proxy to have downloads that
work in MSIE/Acrobat... unless of course someone else has some suggestions.
I'd first install a more recent Apache to see what happens.
