I need to place a button which opens an online PDF and so far I have this 
in reg.py controller

def streamable():
    data = urllib2.urlopen("http://www.pdf995.com/samples/pdf.pdf";)
    return response.stream(data, 4096)

And this in the view

{{=A('open file', _class="btn btn-sm", _href=URL('reg', 'streamable'))}}

Although this only gives me stream output so a bunch of characters and not 
actual pdf, anyone knows how to fix this?
Thank you!
