Right.
Here's an example of the idea (not my code, but it's the same concept):
$gotten = @mysql_query("select * from pdf order by pid desc limit 1");
$row = @mysql_fetch_assoc($gotten);
$bytes = $row[imgdata];
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename="thing.pdf"');
print $bytes;
This works in all browsers but IE.

I have a server that is dynamically generating a PDF as a string of bytes.
Initiating a download and sending the bytes out to the buffer works in all
browsers except IE (of course). In IE, the file cannot be read because it's
corrupted. My experience with downloading files via a script is that it's a
delicate science, but I was able to construct a script a few years ago that has
the right combination of headers and server settings such that it works in all
browsers. This is the first time I have tried to provide a file download for a
file that is generated though (opposed to existing in the file system). Any
tips on how to get this to work in IE?
