I have an application which gathers information about internal processes. Some of this information is in the form of a text file, an Excel file, a PDF file, etc.
What I need to be able to do is to make a URL available to users which will provide a requested file to a user; that is, if the URL refers to a PDF file then when a user makes that request, his browser will detect that the request was for a PDF file and properly render it in xpdf or acrobat or whatever. For example, if a user entered the url http://www.blip.org/getFile.do?name=xyz.pdf the result would be his browser properly displaying the contents of xyz.pdf. Is this even possible? If so, how would I go about doing it? We can assume that the server knows where to find any named file and furthermore that it knows the MIME type of the file (in this case application/x-pdf). Any ideas? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
