Subject: [EMAIL PROTECTED] serving pdf
How do I serve pdf output from python scripts directly to the user's
browser?
The main thing is to set the mime type header so that the browser knows what to
expect, eg:
Content-type: application/pdf
It would also help if the extension is ".pdf" (The content-type is supposed to
be authoritative but some browsers get mixed up if the extension doesn't match it).

Thanks heaps. I'm on to it.

I know I can write the output to a pdf file and then serve an
intermediate page containing a link or button for the user to
click but
I want to bypass that step.
The pdf output contains info the user wants to remain private so it
would be brilliant to avoid writing it as a file then linking
to it. I
suppose I could delete the file afterwards if I'm forced to
go that way.
Also, we don't want the user to be able to alter the content
hence html
output - although easy - is not the way to go.
Thanks for hints or links to more info. Professor Google
hasn't been so
helpful so far.
