is http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/200102/0972.html your 
problem?

if so maybe 
http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/200109/0028.html

if not, what is the content-type, is that changing when you change 
extensions? what happens to a .txt with an application/pdf ?

I've gone through these emails - thank you.  Some of them could be my 
problem, some of them seem to be specific to PDFs downloaded and 
displayed using the PDF viewer plugin.

One of the many odd things is that, when I changed the file extension I 
retained the "application/pdf" mime type, so if you download in a recent 
browser it happily realises that the ".txt" file is really a PDF and 
opens it with no problem (*but not* when it ends in ".pdf"!).

I've tried change the "range_offset_limit" value, but this hasn't 
helped - I think it is specific to the "plug-in" issue.

Anyway, thanks for spending time searching out those links for me.  I 
will keep bashing my head with various blunt objects and see if anything 
comes out.

Stuart.

egads, you do have a brain twister there. I'm guessing there is nothing in 
your squid conf if you do a 'grep pdf' or 'grep acro'?

Peter,

I've tried that too, but thanks for suggestion it.

The only reference to PDFs in the configuration is in the mime.conf file 
which has lines like the following:

\.bin$  application/macbinary   anthony-
unknown.gif -   image
\.exe$  application/octet-streamanthony-
unknown.gif -   image
\.pdf$  application/pdf anthony-
unknown.gif -   image
\.ai$   application/postscript  anthony-
ps.gif  -   ascii   +download
\.eps$  application/postscript  anthony-
ps.gif  -   ascii   +download
\.ps$   application/postscript  anthony-
ps.gif  -   ascii   +download +view
\.snd$  audio/basic anthony-
sound.gif   -   image
\.mp2$  audio/basic anthony-
sound.gif   -   image
\.mp3$  audio/basic anthony-
sound.gif   -   image

But I know that .mp3 files download fine and that renaming the file .bin 
works fine, so I don't think that this is significant.

Stuart.
