I have written a script that displays a pdf to the browser. This pdf is of very sensitive nature and we don't want it to cache on the users machine for security reasons. Currently, when some of our users try and view a pdf, instead of Acrobat Reader spawning, they are getting a dialogue window that asks them to save or open. Either of these options results in an error and they are unable to view the pdf. What should happen is Reader automatically spawns and opens the pdf. I'm nearly certain that I have found the problem. It is the Cache_control attribute in the header below. When I take it out it seems to work fine. The expires=>now part doesn't stop caching unfortunately. I'm needing some advice or information that will assist me in fixing this problem and not allow cacheing. I do understand it is impossible to entirely stop caching but we want to stop most browsers from doing so. Any help from you experts would be greatly appreciated. byron wise print $q->header (-expires => 'now', -type => 'application/pdf', -Cache_control => 'no-store'); "When you sell a man a book, you don't sell him 12 ounces of paper and ink and glue - you sell him a whole new life." - Christopher Morley "Thanks O'REILLY." - Me _______________________________________________________ Send a cool gift with your E-Card http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/ _______________________________________________ Perl-Unix-Users mailing list.
