Re: reading pdf/html from ifs send via cgidev2

Scott,

the apache config tells the browser where to find the file, not
windows networking.

this code can be run from outside the network (as long as the apache
server can be reached from outside), and adobe opens inside the new
browser window as a plugin, not as a stand alone windows app.

I won't pretend this is the only way, or even the best way of doing
it, but it's worked for me before and it's all I've got in my code
snippets library about .pdfs that I've used before.

Isn't this basically the same thing as providing a link to the document?
Except now you're requiring Windows Networking to be configured and
working in addition to HTTP?

If you must do this, why bother with the Javascript?  Why not simply send
the Location: header back?
