[mod_python] Problems with req.content_type and req.sendfile in IE, but Opera/Mozilla works.

A closer explanation.

Both IE-5.5 and IE-6.x lists out the file content in a new window, where 
the adobe reader plugins should be activated.

The 5 first lines of PDF-file is:
"%PDF-1.4 3 0 obj << /Length 504 /Filter /FlateDecode"

Could pdf version 1.4 cause the problem?


Cheers,

Ole
