I think Phil is right about the bug in IE+Acrobat plug-in. IE+Acrobat plug-in stop dowloading the stream after a certain amount of bytes is down.
The problem should be fixed if you can set the content-length in the HTTP-Response-Header, to tell IE+Acrobat plug-in about the size of the Response-Stream. At least this worked when i was trying to serve PDFs from another application-server. I never tried serving PDFs with a Java-based-App-Server, yet, therefore i didn't tried that within cocoon, ... but i'm quite sure it will work. the point is, i have no idea where to set this HTTP-Response-Header-Property within cocoon. let me know it, if it worked. greez, chm > Phil Blake wrote: > >> Hi all, >> >> I want to serve PDF's - nothing special, no generation or >> transformation - simply returning an existing pdf from a request. >> >> So...
