This is really cool and i didnt know you could do this! I installed Paros and have played around with it. Unfortunatly i cant figure out what is happening, still. My reponse headers look like this: ------- HTTP/1.0 200 OK Connection: close Date: Thu, 27 Nov 2008 14:36:52 GMT Content-Length: 93341 Content-Type: application/pdf Set-Cookie: session=7eccab441f14e3d142a072a231c66e51e5b91598; path=/; expires=Thu, 27-Nov-2008 15:36:52 GMT Status: 200 X-Catalyst: 5.7014 ------------- Which seems OK to me, i guess, though the Content-Length isnt the same as what Cat is reporting for the output, which is 93333, same as the file size. (I guess thats from headers) The PDF itself looks like the PDF i can view in the terminal. It begins ------- %PDF-1.4 %âãÏÓ 8 0 obj << /N 1 /Filter /FlateDecode /Alternate /DeviceGray /Length 631 >> stream ------- and it ends ------- 0000092712 00000 n trailer << /Info 11 0 R /Root 10 0 R /Size 12 /ID [<3bf4386624f3e774819afb5b8dfa18af><669eeb717392a42f4903bdf458b7f775>] >> startxref 92936 %%EOF --------- both of which match what i see when i look at the thing itself. So im not really sure where to go from here. I can report that the effect is the same with Epiphany, Firefox, and Opera.
