Re: Apache Redirects to stop linking from other domains not working

CGIDEV2 should be as easy as loading a template for the HTTP headers,
writing that out, then loading the PDF as the template, then writing it
out.

Thanks Chris, although all these methods utilize PHP which we don't use in
our shop. I believe I've found direction with CGIDEV2 which I'm starting to
experiment with. I've not found a good method yet to migrate PHP logic into
my RPG code..

Here's a google for serving the pdf:

https://www.google.com/search?q=php+output+pdf+stream


The trick is to either echo the file or use readfile to put it into the
stream.
You can even set the header so the file is downloaded by using
'Content-Type: application/octet-stream'. Instead of rendered by using
'Content-Type: application/pdf'.

Great answer here.

There is also some really good examples of outputting the file and even one
for limiting the download rate here:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.readfile.php

<?php
$fullFilePath = '/path/to/file/file.pdf';

header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="'.basefile
($fullFilePath).'"');
readfile($fullFilePath);
exit;

Just for FYI, everything I read tells me that using the mod-rewrite for
apache can be hit and miss with PDF files due to the way browsers handle
the plugin to view them. sometimes the referrer value doesn't work, which
is what I'm running into. Most solutions point to a server streamed
document instead of a link to one, of which I've no idea how to code to
serve a PDF. If anyone can point a direction for that I'd be most grateful.
