Hi Monks!
I have a program that is generating a pdf file out of a fdf file, its driving me crazy here. It opens just fine and displays the PDF in Firefox but there is an issue if I try to open the same program in IE. May be some of you went by the same problem before where I ran out of options, is there a different header, am I calling the header wrong? Here is a code that you can try, look at it and please try to help on this:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use CGI qw(:standard);

my $q = new CGI;

print $q->header("application/vnd.fdf");
#print "Content-type: application/vnd.fdf\n\n";

print <<RESPONSESTREAM;
%FDF-1.2
