As I replied elsewhere, setting my Helper Apps application/pdf to either
"Use Adobe Reader (Default) or "Use Adobe Acrobat (in SeaMonkey)", I
still get sent to the same page
Yep; the accept: header still needs to be manually modified to let the
server know that you have a plugin capable of displaying PDF documents.
I did that using the "Live HTTP headers" extension just to see what's
going on. If you want to try it for yourself:
- Install the Live HTTP headers extension
- Restart SeaMonkey
- Set the helper app for application/pdf to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in
SeaMonkey)"
- Open Tools > Web Development > Live HTTP headers
- Load the page
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8695711&action=edit>
- In Live HTTP headers, scroll up to the first request; it should begin:
"GET /attachment.cgi?id=8695711&action=edit HTTP/1.1"
- Click on that request, then click "Replay..."
- In the resulting "Live HTTP Replay" window, change the Accept: header
line by adding "application/pdf to the list of accepted types, e.g.:
Accept:
text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,application/pdf,*/*;q=0.8
- Click "Replay"
- Reload the page; you should see the PDF embedded in the page, instead
of the message giving you an option to download the file.
A far easier workaround is to just use the download link to temporarily
save the file, and open it.
There might be a preference to set the accept header used, but I haven't
looked. If there is, you'd probably want to add "application/pdf," just
to the left of "*.*, so that it's available but less preferred than HTML.
Mark.
Installed "Live HTTP headers" ... will check back in tomorrow!
