PDF streaming

[Guest]

Hi,
Could someone help me in pointing out what is wrong with this code? This
works as expected in FireFox but not in IE. I have IE 6.0.
I am trying to get a PDF which is hosted on our Intranet, and stream it out
to the Internet users.

Regards,
Amar


WebRequest myRequest = WebRequest.Create("http://intranet/amar/testform.pdf");

WebResponse myResponse = myRequest.GetResponse();

BinaryReader binReader = new BinaryReader(myResponse.GetResponseStream()) ;
byte[] pdfByte =
binReader.ReadBytes(Convert.ToInt32(myResponse.ContentLength));
Response.Clear();
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;
filename="+"test.pdf");
Response.ContentType="application/pdf";
Response.BinaryWrite(pdfByte);
Response.Flush();
Response.Close();

Change the line:
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;
filename="+"test.pdf");
in:
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition","inline;filename="+"test.pdf");

IE/FF show the message "Open" "Save"?

If you write:
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"
?

Hi Andrea,
When I replaced “attachment†to “inline†it did not work when I typed the
http://www.Internet.com/stream.aspx (stream.aspx contains the code mentioned
earlier).
Where as If I make http://www.Internet.com/stream.aspx as a link on some
other page and then click the link, it works fine in both IE and FireFox.
Any idea why?
