Safari 2.0.0.4 appends .html to pdf files

[Gerrit Horeis]

Hi NG,

I've a Problem with users who want to download DB-stored pdf files
("document.pdf"). The download is processed by an aspx-page which
Response.BinaryWrites the file to the client. but on safari 2.0.0.4
(and MacOs 10.4.9) the file is renamed to Document.pdf.html. Safari
1.xx does it all right.

I've set the ContentType and appended the right headers.

Response.ContentType = SqlDr["ContentType"].ToString();
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\""
+ FileName + "\"");
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Length", OrgSize);

Can anybody please help?

frequently browsers open several tcp connections to server to spead up
downloads, and then somethings can go wrong if you are streming
content to client.


put debuger on the start "page" and check if this is the case, try
detecting it (by storing some values into session to indicate that
user already hava an open stream) and reject second connection. try
testing it with very small files.

I do not know if you can tell client "not to do that"
