Re: Problems with seeing pdf-files in IE 5.0

[Stephan Kassanke]

Hi Cyril, we had a similar problem, the solution is simple: just put a dummy parameter at the end, like       http://www.somewhere.com/myjsp.jsp&dummy=my.pdf   This will cause IE 5.0 to display the pdf in the browser.   Stephan ----- Original Message ----- From: Cyril Rognon To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 07, 2001 2:43 PM Subject: Re: Problems with seeing pdf-files in IE 5.0 It has been reported many times that IE5.0 needs some strong mime type information  : not only you must set the content-type HTTP header to "application/pdf" but you also have to use an url with ".pdf" at the end...

But if I try to see it with an IE 5.0, I see just a blank page with an icon. If I try it with an IE 5.5, I can see it with no problem.       Why is it? And there is a solution, because I cannot change the browser to 5.5?
