RE: [PEAR] Re: HTTP_download : open file in browser, not download

Hi Mike, thanks for your interest I send a PDF file and use the $dl->guessContentType(); to send the mime type. I also tried $dl->setContentType("application/pdf"); with same result. When selecting 'open' in the prompt, PDF is correctly opened in Adbode PDF reader with both commands I updated my PEAR packages to the lastest version of HTTP_Header and HTTP_download (beta) The browser always display the prompt twice if I click 'open' and only once if I click 'Save' i saw no particular option in the Ie settings... what do you mean with the IE hack? i don't know this...

What type of file are you sending? Did you set the correct mime type? Did you try the comonly used IE hack to simulate a file extension like: download.php/file.ext download.php?file=.ext Regards, -- Michael - < mike(@)php.net >
