[Dspace-tech] showing a PDF in the browser (cont.)

2014-01-22 Thread Evgeni Dimitrov
When a PDF file is served by Tomcat directly, then the header says:
. . .
Content-Typeapplication/pdf
. . .
and the file is displayed by the plugin in the browser.

When the same PDF is served by DSpace, then the header says:
. . .
Content-Dispositionattachment;filename=bookPDF2.pdf
Content-Typeapplication/pdf;charset=ISO-8859-1
. . .
and the browser asks - to save or to open outside the browser.

Is this on purpose and is this configurable (I mean configurable in DSpace)?

Hi Evgeni

Is this not also browser dependant?
How do the developers cater for ALL browser options regarding MIME types?

Hi Hilton,

This is in the response header. Same to all browsers.
And it looks like all browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer etc.) treat
the pdf differently depending on disposition - attachment or not.

Regards
Evgeni
