Hi all

I'm not sure if this relates exactly to the issues people have been having but I've had trouble with inline pdfs not working as they should with DNN 4.3.5 so I have done some core debugging. I first examined the output using SamSpade and discovered that the Content-Type is always octet-stream. There are two reasons for this.

The ContentType is set, dependent on file extension, in DownloadFile() in FileSystemUtils.vb line 764 but in WriteStream() at FileSystemUtils.vb line 410 the ContentType is hardcoded as octet-stream, overwriting the previous setting. I don't know what else it might affect so I have fixed this in a kludgy way by making another overload of WriteStream() so I can choose to write the Content-Type or not.

The other issue with inline pdfs is that there is some code at FileSystemUtils.vb line 757 that always forces a download no matter what. There must have been a reason for it but in my experience, there is no need to handle pdfs differently.

With both of these issues fixed, inline and download pdfs work perfectly for me in both FireFox and I.E. with the Adobe reader.

As an FYI, I was having the same issues with PDF's using DNN 4.3.4 and IE6&7rc1. After upgrading to DNN 4.3.5 the problems appear to have gone away :)
