Hi.
I have a PDF file and a MHT file.
Following is the code I'm using to read the file and display it INLINE in
the browser.
(PageData is a MemoryStream object that contains the file's actual stream of
bytes.)
---------------------------- PDF files ----------------------------
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/pdf");
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "inline;filename=file.pdf");
PageData.WriteTo(Response.OutputStream);
---------------------------- MHT files ----------------------------
Response.ContentType = "message/rfc822";
Response.AddHeader("Content-Type", "message/rfc822");
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "inline;filename=file.mht");
PageData.WriteTo(Response.OutputStream);
Using the above code, I can successfully view the PDF files, but NOT MHT
files.
For MHT files, Blank IE window appears and the "View Source" displays the
following HTML.
----
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>
----
Please note that I can view both PDF and MHT files successfully as
attachments, as opposed to being inline.
i.e., Response.AddHeader("content-disposition",
"attachment;filename=file.mht"); works absolutely fine.
I'm wondering if MHT files can be viewed inline at all. If yes, please let
me know where I'm doing it wrong.
Thanks in advance.
