Well - the code works just fine as is and that's all I care about. As for Richard's comments - the url in my header(Location....) statement points to a pdf file, not a php file, so the target is not sending any headers (that I know of ).
The server will send the appropriate headers for files like that. If you want to see it, try doing a wget or curl and make sure to snag the headers as well (or instead) of the actual file. For instance: curl -O -D headers.txt 'http://wiki.tamaratemple.com/uploads/Main/CoolWebThings/bumping_locks.pdf' returns headers.txt: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Wed, 01 Jun 2011 18:28:28 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) Last-Modified: Mon, 03 Dec 2007 02:54:08 GMT ETag: "9386f8-323dc0-e4df9400" Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 3292608 Content-Type: application/pdf without doing anything special. (no, i don't advocate going around picking locks. it's just useful info to have...)
