When using a plain servlet or jsp and outputting PDF (and setting the response content type to pdf) and reading that in IE (not Mozilla, NS, ... ) a lot of problems can occur; this is becourse IE looks for the file extension to see which content type he should use (and not the http headers).

I was just wondering how this is done with Cocoon if your URL is for example "report" (so definitely without an extension) and in the sitemap you are using a reader to get the pdf from the filesystem and setting the content type to pdf.

If you don't use anything which can be mistaken as an extension, IEx uses the content-type to decide what to do with the content. If you've got a dot in the last component of the URL, it depends whether the string after the last dot is a a registered file extension in the Windows registry. There's still the problem that the content may be retrieved twice or even three times.

has Cocoon some workaround for this or does it have the same problem?

Cocoon's mapping mechanism makes it is easy to use URLs ending in .pdf for PDF content.
