IE Mac header problems
Posted: Wed Oct 29, 2003 6:31 pm
Okay, I realize that people have talked about this before
But I really need to know if anyone has any ideas on how to solve the old "Internet Explorer doesn't recognize the header information correctly" problem for the Mac (OS X) IE Version 5.2
The issue is, I'm using the header("Location: http://blah.com/me.pdf"); function which does correctly redirect the user. However it does not cause IE to properly see the file as a .pdf file during the download.
I have tried things like:
and nothing seems to work. Now on every other browser on every other OS there are no problems. Only IE on Mac. I've even attempted downloading the file on the the local server, and then sending up the content with the headers... still no luck.
Considering that my bosses are on Mac's I can't just use the old argument "It is IE on a Mac... so..."
Any thoughts?
arigatou gozaimasu!!!

header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
// always modified
header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");
// HTTP/1.1
header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate");
header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0", false);Considering that my bosses are on Mac's I can't just use the old argument "It is IE on a Mac... so..."
