Yes, likewise, we placed a fix into the dspace 1.5 codebase that
resolves this issue by setting a content-disposition threshold, there
is a dspace.cfg property that can be set to control the threshold that
the content disposition is set on a bitstream of a specific size.
This is used to circumvent this browser issue.
Cheers,

Yes, we encountered this problem as well with Firefox. Terry Reese
from Oregon State told me that there was a patch posted sometime ago
that forces the browser to initiate a download by setting the
Content-Disposition header element rather than inline viewing if the
file is over a specific file size. The patch is found here:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=319984&aid=1751638&group_id=19984
The patch sets the threshold to 20 MB. I set our threshold to 5MB.

I'm going to guess this is related to the default functionality of

firefox opens PDFs, but I'll ask here anyway. The collection admin
for
a particular section of our IR wrote me saying that she was getting
an
error opening a PDF from the IR. She would get the error "The file is
damaged and could not be repaired" from Adobe Acrobat. If she right
clicked and saved as... to her computer and opened it it was fine. It
also opened fine from IE. My guess is that Acrobat is trying to open
the file before it has actually completed downloading. The file is
27mb, so that could potentially be the issue.
It works fine from my mac and firefox browser, however.
Is this a problem anyone else has run into? If so, is it something
that can be "fixed" from DSpace's end?
Thanks.
