I've been creating a PDF document by a PHP-Script. The PDF is displayed inline
in my browser.
Everytime a bug is in my script, the content-type of the output is not
application/pdf but text/html.
So when I press F5 to reload the page, either a PDF is displayed or a HTML page.

This usually works. But sometimes if I reload the page, it does not. I just have
a plain tab in front of me.

My first guess was that it is a problem of acrobat. So I terminated the
AcroRd32-Process and reloaded the page - the Acrobat Reader was started *zzz* -
same result: plain page.

Displaying the URL in another tab is not working, too.

The page source of the plain tab is currectly displayed with the source of the
pdf-document.

I can not reprocude the bug every time, but It occures a couple of times a day.
If I should find a way to reproduce it, I'll write a comment.

The problem is gone if I restart the browser.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
