What MIME type do I use to get Firefox to view PDFs without a save dialog?
When I download a PDF off of most sites, it opens directly in my external program (okular). However, on my own server this is not the case: I get a save dialog first. I believe the problem is actually caused by the MIME type I am sending, but I cannot seem to figure out what that should be. I am using PHP 5.2.17 on apache 2.2.17 with mod_xsendfile to download the files. The headers I am sending are:
header('X-Sendfile: test.pdf'); header ('Content-Type: application/pdf'); header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="testing.pdf"');

Well, never mind: it looks like I deleted my mimetypes.rdf and restarted Firefox and now it works.
