PDFlib and IE 5.5

[Anon]

After successfully generating a PDF document, the following code

<?
$fd = fopen("template.pdf", "r");
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
fpassthru($fd);
fclose($fd);
exit();
?>

works perfectly for various versions of Netscape and IE 5.0. On IE 5.5, it gives me a blank page (view source shows '<P>&nbsp;</P>') even though template.pdf was properly generated. Is there more to add to the header call? Anyone encountered this problem? Many thanks to anyone who can provide insight into this matter.

Respectfully,

I was having problems streaming files to IE 5.5... I made sure I didn't set any cookies (if you're using sessions this can happen, don't use the session_start() method) and everything worked ok for me. Seems to be a bug in ie 5.5. Hope that helps.. also, you might want to try sending the header Content-length with the size of the file ... that helped ie as well.

I have this problem, when method of the form which sends data to the pdf-generating script is 'post'. 'Get' works well. (Unfourtunally I need to send more data that 'get' can handle, so I'm as stuck as you)
