i've got several file on a server that have html links to them. most are pdf
but not all. i'd like to have the os of the client pc open the doc with the
appropriate executable when their related hyperlink is clicked. i've taken
the sledge-hammer approach that i've read as a hack to do this, which is
setting the html header to content-type=application/octet-stream. on my pc
this works but on others, it doesn't. the application will sometimes launch
but (in the case of the pdf's) gives an error about the file format. i think
it's to do with the size of the file since the other pc's are hit and miss
when getting the file.
do i have to setup some kind of filter that will set headers to the specific
file type being opened...like pdf, or excel, or whatever? i'd really like to
stay away from getting that specific as that will become something that must
be maintained.
thanks for your thoughts,
me
