Hi All,

I found that Django can not serve PDF files from view, and I feel this
is wrong and must be fixed, so I try to raise this topic now.

Problem description:

We've build e-commerce site which sells PDF files as well. For obvious
reasons I can not put all our PDF files as static files on media
server.

I have also found nice guide and followed it:
    http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/outputting_pdf/

Actual code I've used is this one:
    http://dpaste.com/7959/

All worked well, we have installed new site yesterday, and got
numerious number of complaints from our users. Tracking down the
problem we've found that it is IE specific, well known and mentioned
on Microsoft support site:

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824847/en-us?spid=8722&sid=global

I've asked on IRC, people helped me and pointed out that I should
write middleware to fix this problem. Btw, big thanks to 'axiak' from
#django IRC by helping to resolve problem in fast manner:

Now, I am curious, is this normal that to serve PDF file it is
required to write middleware?

Alex
