Hi again,

Now I would like to serve some PDF-Content with Zope/External
Method.

Any Browser but ... IE ... can do this job ;-)

Some of the header seem to be rewriten inbetween,
a normal unencrypted connection or a ssl-tunnel
deliver the same PDF-Content just as intentend.


Please comment,
Sascha

The file must be named xxxx.pdf -- and you should provide the usual 
mime headers for standards complient browsers.  Differen IE versions 
behave differently, or so I am lead to believe.

Okay I have done that, but it does not seem to

I did that, but something seems to get modified by pound.

No Pound - no Problem - but no encryption.

Here are some of my headers I am using:

     RESPONSE.setHeader("Content-Length",len(pdf))
     RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/pdf')
     RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-disposition','inline; 
filename="%s.pdf"' % ("druck"))

These Header *work* in an unencrypted connection.


regards,
Sascha

IIRC Pound has nothing to do with it. IE behaves different when using http
or https. I had the same problem with downloading CSV files from a
Squirrelmail plugin.

I assure you Pound does NOT modify these headers (look at the source to 
convince yourself).

I suggest you try an SSL connection via stunnel to verify that indeed this is 
an issue of IE/HTTPS rather than Pound.[...]
