[reportlab-users] Returning PDF to a browser?

When I first started doing this 3 years ago, the raw PDF would often 
display as you describe.  Changing executable cgi scripts from
'myapp.cgi' to 'myapp.pdf' was more effective than headers.
However, I have seen this less often in the last 2 years. 
It would be good to collect some data on this.

Can you repeat the problem with a particular version of IE?
Have you tried other browsers?

Thanks,
