Cannot view PDF in IE (PDF builded with PDFLib)

[myth0s]

Hi All,

I am dumbfounded with a problem that happens only in IE (7.0, I don't know for the other versions).

Situation :
I have a .php file that builds dynamically (with PDFLib) a PDF. I can see that PDF with Firefox, but not with IE7.

When I click the link to open the PDF in a new window, all I get is a blank page. Also, if I have a website opened and I type the address of the .php file that builds the PDF in the address bar, the page will not change. IE will continue to display the "old" page, even though I can see the "www.whatever.c om/printPDF.php" in the address bar. If I click refresh at that point, it will refresh the old website.

When I have the blank page (in a new window) I can click Page -> Save As and that will download the PDF like if everything is fine!!

If I click the link or if I enter the address of the .php file in Firefox, everything works fine O.o

The header I have are :

[PHP]
$buf = $p->get_buffer() ;
$len = strlen(ltrim($b uf));

header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1
header("Expires : Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); // Date in the past
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Length: $len");
header("Content-Disposition: inline;");
header("Pragma: public");

echo $buf;[/PHP]

Note, before I removed "filename= ..." after "inline" in Content-disposition, it wasn't working with Firefox either.

If anyone has a guess at what may be the problem, I would really like to hear it!

Thank you.

Heya, Mythos.

Check out some of the headers set on the example on this page. There is one line in particular that is noted as "required for some browsers". I wonder if one of them is IE....
