Hi,
I installed the Collection extension and have a problem which seems to
be not uncommon:
If I want to download the document, the pdf-File is opened in the
browser and shown as
--------------------------------------------------
%PDF-1.3 %“Œ‹ž ReportLab Generated PDF document
http://www.reportlab.com
% 'BasicFonts': class PDFDictionary 1 0 obj % The standard fonts
dictionary << /F1+0 117 0 R /F2+0 121 0 R /F3+0 125 0 R /F4+0 129 0 R
/F5 19 0 R /F6+0 133 0 R >> endobj % 'Annot.NUMBER1': class LinkA ...
--------------------------------------------------
So the File is sent as "text/html" instead as "application/pdf".
I never have problems to download pdf files, so it's not a problem of my
browser (FF 3.6.12) I think.
Saving the file to disk doesn't work, it can't be read as PDF.
If it works with curl, firefox will be doing some tranformation before
savign breaking it (heh, it was told it was text!).
The only solution so far is download the file directly
via
curl -D - -o test.pdf -d collection_id=1234567890 -d writer=rl -d
command=download
http://tools.pediapress.com/mw-serve/
But that doesn't make fun...
Has anyone a solution for that problem? Could it be a
problem of the
server at pediapress?

It's a server configuration problem. The server should be sending it as
application/pdf if it's sending text/html it has to be fixed.
