Hi,
I had faced similar problem.And as U said, soem versions of IE give preference
to file extension over content type it seems.But the following works..
response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename="+ fileName
+".pdf");
where file name is any name u want the save as dialogue box to be given if user
chooses to save file instead of open it.This works for all versions of IE i
tried..
So i think the action name has nothing to do with this...And u can leave it as
it is..Hope this helps..
regards,
Shirish

I think you can name your action with a .pdf extension, something like
http://localhost/xmltopdf.do.pdf. Not sure what you'd have to do with the
action mappings to allow this to work. Some versions of IE seem to use the
URL 'document' extension and the client systems extension to application
mapping over using the content type set in the HTTP response header.
