Re: mod_perl behavior w/out mod

What headers are you setting when you serve the PDF? You should be able to set a content disposition header that gives the browser a filename to save-as. Something like (modulo the package you're using to do CGI):

print $query->header(-content_disposition => 'attachment;filename=123.
+pdf', ...);

I figured it out! I just use Apache's Action directive (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_actions.html#action) AddHandler my-file-type .pdf Action my-file-type /scripts/scrip.pl The filename headers I give the output does not change the Title of the file when displayed in the browser, nor does it change the default file name that appears in the save prompt when you try to save the file.
