I had problems when trying to generate a pdf file with perl and outputting to MSIE 5.0. To fix this, I did content type = application/pdf. Thanks to help from wonderful perl monks I found out that I could do this. :) Thanks for the nifty trick! I just thought I'd share for those who don't know.
by simply adding .pdf to the end of the URL, Microsoft's dumb MIME content override was tricked.the url was simple.... /dumb_perlscript.pl?ext=.pdf
