Well what's generating the PDF's? If they're coming from a file, you need to configure Apache to correctly detect the mime type (as with mod_mime: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_mime.html). Or if they're all accessed through a particular root URL (like /reports/pdf/), you can use the <Location> tag and ForceType: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#forcetype. If it's being generated by a server side script, you can try the above <Location> method, or better, just get your script to generate the correct Content-Type header. If you're using PHP, the default mime type if you don't say otherwise is usually text/html, as you found, but you can use the header() function to send the CT header like: header("Content-Type: application/pdf"). -Brian -- Feel free to contact me using PGP Encryption: Key Id: 0x3AA70848 Available from: http://keys.gnupg.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
