It looks like a temporary filename generated by whatever is
downloading the file. For example, Firefox, while downloading, would
name the file "gisplan.pdf.part" and rename it to "gisplan.pdf" after
the download completed. If the downloader completed the download
(accounting for the OK PDF file) but failed to rename it, you might
get the result which you observed.

I use a slightly different content-disposition, indicating explicitly
that it's an attachment:

response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=gisplan.pdf'

With this approach, everything works as expected for me.

reportlab - filename of generated PDF

[Ivan Mincik]

Dear django users,
we have a problem with filename of resulting PDF generated by reportlab and 
then downloaded by browser.  

Generated PDF is OK, but filename is incorrect. It is allways something like 
"randomstring.pdf.part". (for example sa34sdfasdf.pdf.part)


in the "view.py" there are these lines: 
response = HttpResponse(mimetype='application/pdf')
response['Content-Disposition'] = 'filename=gisplan.pdf'

Please, can anybody see where can be the problem ?
