If you want to serve files to be opend in a separate application (also PDF files displayed in the Reader and not in the IE Plugin) with the dialog open/save as/cancel : Don't use the Content-disposition: attachment and Cache-control: no-cache header at same time. Normaly the browser stores the file in a temporary directory and starts the default application for the mime-type with the path of the file as parameter. Problem : IE6 doesn't store because of no-cache. So the application (in my case AcrobatReader) displays the file can't be found.
