I've found ?.pdf to work just as well to fool IE and your artificially
created PATH_INFO filename will then stick if a user does a save as.
BTW, I think your problem may occur only on IE and W2k (even with IE 5 not
5.5). If you use IE and Win98 you won't have the same extension problem. At
least I didn't.
There is an attachment header you can give, but that's used for sending a
file for download I believe-- a kind of forced save as which you may not want.
