I do not know if this is off topic, so please reply to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] A web site I maintain has a PDF to download.
The host uses apache so if I use ".htaccess" in the root directory with the
line:
addType application/download .pdf
I've never heard of application/download
According to the standard mime types list, it's not an official type
http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/
It *may* work, but only because browsers have no clue what you're
actually sending them, as they don't recognise the mime type (unless
this is some kind of unofficial de-facto type not listed by IANA).
I'd play it safe and use
addType application/octet-stream .pdf
instead.
